Breathe easy now, Manchester United fans! The Red Devils have now signed their second attacking player in the summer transfer window of the 2025-26 season. First the Brazilian attacker Matheus Cunha, and now the Cameroon international, Bryan Mbuemo.

The Manchester Reds have roped in the former Brentford striker to bolster their attack this season. Head coach Ruben Amorim made it very clear that he needed attacking changes, and now the club has roped in two players who are most likely what the Portuguese manager wants in his playing XI.

Red Devils Bolster Attacking Lineup

The striker has signed a five-year contract with the option of extension for a year further. Manchester United have spent £71m for this deal to take place. Reports from the UK claim that United 3rd and final bid was accepted by the Bees. The club will be paying £65m over four installments, while the remaining £6m will be on add-ons.

Ruben Amorim’s side had two previous bids being unsuccessful as the Reds desperately needed the Brentford striker, who lit up the Premier League last season with 20 goals to his name. Mbuemo has scored 70 goals for the South London side in his 6-year stint.
