MU spent up to 82 million euros to bring Bryan Mbeumo to Old Trafford. This is the second largest contract of the Red Devils into Manchester this summer. So, what is the reason MU has to buy this 25 -year -old winger at all costs?
Mbeumo has arrived at the theater of dreams according to the 5 -year contract. Even without the surcharges, Brentford's winger is still the seventh expensive contract in MU history. He is also a record selling contract in the bees, nearly double the previous figure belongs to Ivan Toney when the British player joined Al Ahli for 42 million euros last season.
Mbeumo is currently valid for a market value of 55 million euros, which is pursued by the top of the Premier League such as Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and MU (of course). And, despite the much higher fee than reality, MU is still determined to recruit him. The fact that Mbeumo joined MU will be a push for the team of coach Ruben Amorim, considering the great interest for this player.
Why Mbeumo is one of the most sought -after winger in the Premier League. The first is the great qualities of a leading player and humble personality, always working hard. Whether playing in Ligue 2, Ligue 1 in the Troyes (France) or in the First Class British and the Premier League for Brentford, Mbeumo always adapted well with the new environment to progress through each season.
When a Premier League promotion team, there are always questions about whether the players can adapt to the change in class, because the quality gap between the top tournament in the foggy country and the first place is very large. However, Mbeumo has proven that he is completely suitable for the Premier League.
The Cameroon player scored 42 goals and had 30 assists after 136 matches in the Premier League. And his achievement has always been constantly increasing since the launch of the Premier League in a 2-0 victory over Arsenal in August 2021. Last season, Mbeumo started with the top form. He scored 7 goals and had 3 assists in the first 15 matches, before his ankle injury interrupted his season.
The only winger players with a better goals per game than Mbeumo (0.46 goals/game) since the beginning of the previous season are Mohamed Salah (0.67 goals), Cole Palmer (0.52 goals) and Michael Olise (0.53 goals). His performance in the Premier League is always a topic of interest.
In particular, Mbeumo is always a key factor of Brentford. With Toney being suspended in the first half of the 2023/24 season, Mbeumo shone brightly. This continues in the 2024/25 season when the 25 -year -old player reaps a wonderful year. When Toney was still in the squad, most of Brentford's play revolved around him. But when there was no striker 1m93 tall as a focal point, Mbeumo made great progress.
Mbeumo's achievement in the Premier League when there is no significantly better Toney than when both are still in bees. In 69 matches with Toney, Mbeumo scored only 8 goals and 9 assists, equivalent to the rate of 0.12 goals and 0.13 assists per game.
In 64 MBEumo matches without Toney, Mbeumo scored 32 goals and 17 assists, equivalent to the rate of 0.50 goals and 0.27 assists per game. It seems that Mbeumo plays very well when he is the home of the home team.
In addition to adapting quickly to all circumstances, Mbeumo also owns the perfect left truss and he promotes the best when kicking the right wing corridor. Therefore, the 25 -year -old can be ranked in the “number 10 right” position in the 3 -person attack of Amorim. This will also have an impact on the young player Amad Diallo, who is one of the few light rays last season of the Red Devils. The Ivory Coast player may return to the right -back position.
Thus, MU will have a very new attack this season, with Matheus CuHa expected to play in the “number 10 left” position. Everything changed at Old Trafford, and after a season full of negative things, defeating top clubs to sign contracts with Cunha and especially MBeumo, can be considered a real positive point.
Although many European giants have an eye, but in MBeumo's mind there is only one feasible destination: MU. The signing with the Old Trafford team has helped the Cameroon player fulfill his childhood dream, originating since he was a boy wearing Cristiano Ronaldo's red shirt when playing football on the street.
Obviously, a talented MBeumo, loving Mu wholeheartedly will bring the true quality to the Old Trafford team, in order to perfect the excellent attack players, including rookie Cunha.
