Bryan Mbeumo is a Man United player after £71m move as he calls Manchester United the ‘Club of my dreams’.
Bryan Mbeumo seals £71m Manchester United move.
Bryan Mbeumo claimed to have joined “the club of my dreams” following his £71 million transfer from Brentford to Manchester United, where he has signed a five-year contract.
After hearing about United’s interest at the beginning of the summer, the 25-year-old was determined to move to Old Trafford. The forward scored 20 Premier League goals the previous season, and United made many bids before agreeing to a deal costing £65 million plus an additional £6 million in add-ons.
Mbeumo joins a side without European football that placed 15th in the Premier League the previous season. He was a top target for the head coach, who identified Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha as crucial additions, and is a part of Amorim’s restoration.
“As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams; the team whose shirt I wore growing up,” Mbeumo said. “My mentality is to always be better than I was yesterday. I know that I have the spirit and character to reach another level here, learning from Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players.
“Everybody told me about the environment that is being created here and how exciting the plans are for the future. This is a massive club, with an incredible stadium and amazing fans, we are all really determined to challenge for the biggest trophies.”
“Bryan’s goals and assists record in the Premier League is exceptional, his remarkable consistency has put him among the most productive players in England for the last three seasons,” United director of football, Jason Wilcox, said. “Bryan’s belief in our project and determination to join the club confirmed that he was the perfect fit for Manchester United and the culture that we are developing.”
