The financial gap between Manchester United and Brentford FC remains wide over the signing of Cameroonian striker Bryan Mbeumo. According to reports in some English media outlets, no tangible developments have taken place between the parties in recent days, making it unlikely that the deal will be completed at this stage.

Despite this, Manchester United management continues its efforts to persuade Brentford FC to reach a permanent agreement, as the club seeks to strengthen its attacking line during the summer transfer window.

The 25-year-old Cameroon international has a contract with Brentford FC that runs until the summer of 2026, with the option to extend for another season. Mbeumo made 42 appearances, scoring 20 goals and providing 9 assists last season.
