Bryan Mbeumo has become Manchester United’s second major signing of the transfer window after completing a move from Brentford for a reported $87 million.

Manchester United have announced the signing of Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo for a fee rising to £71million. The right-sided forward joins the Red Devils in a deal worth £65 million, with a further £6 million to be paid in add-ons. It comes six weeks after United launched their first bid for the 25-year-old forward.

Manchester United have bought Bryan Mbeumo for an initial £65m to take Ruben Amorim ’s summer spending on attackers past £120m. The Cameroon international, whose fee could rise to £71m if add-ons are triggered, has signed a five-year deal at Old Trafford, while United have the option to extend it for a further season.
