If he joined MU this summer, striker Bryan Mbeumo would probably be given the number of shirts he used during 7 years of dedication to the host club Brentford.
According to SkySport, at the third negotiation, Man United proposed to recruit Bryan Mbeumo with a total transfer fee of £ 70 million, which includes 65 million fixed tables and £ 5 million.
Brentford is considering this proposal, has not made a decision. Basically, MU's third proposal meets the original requirements of the bees. Not to mention, Mbeumo really wants to join Old Trafforf this summer.
The completion of this deal is only a matter of time. If successfully arrived at Old Trafford, Bryan Mbeumo will most likely be given a favorite number 19 shirt. This is the number of shirts that the Cameroon striker has used for 7 years for Brentford.
The number of 19 shirts in Man Utd is still empty since Raphael Varane broke up Old Trafford. Previously, these shirts used to go to Amad Diallo, Marcus Rashford, James Wilson, Danny Welbeck or Gerard Pique.
However, the most famous player ever used the number 19 at Old Trafford, striker Dwight Yorke (from 1998/99 to 2001/02). In the Cameroon team, Mbeumo was wearing the number 20, but before that, the striker used to use the number 19 in the 2023/24 season. The number 20 shirt in MU is also empty because Diogo Dalot has moved to the number 2 shirt since the new season 2025/26.
Yanoe Wissa is the biggest problem that Brentford has not decided to sell Bryan Mbeumo, not necessarily due to the transfer fee. After being knocked out of the Hugo Ekitike deal, Newcastle was ready to spend this striker.
The Brentford side had lost Norgaard, coach Thomas Frank this summer. Now, if you sell the Wissa – Mbeumo duo again, the club will be in great trouble and at risk of falling into the relegation spiral soon.
