A time of reconstruction ahead for Manchester United, but no European football. Manchester United is heading into the transfer window with intent to change the squad dramatically. The absence of European football means that, despite the club’s historic prestige, the Red Devils may struggle to attract every target they desire, as not all players are ready to join during what is arguably the club’s most difficult period in recent history. United has already spent 74 million euros on Matheus Cunha as their first transfer signing, and a second addition could also come from the Premier League. According to the reliable The Athletic, Bryan Mbeumo has expressed a desire to continue his career at Old Trafford, and United is expected to open talks with Brentford about a potential transfer.Bryan Mbuemo scored just one league goal fewer than Man United’s entire attack this season 😲▪️Mbuemo: 20▪️Man United’s attack: 21 pic.twitter.com/chkV0dxBgn— ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) June 3, 2025 Although Mbeumo is entering the final year of his contract (with an option to extend for one more year), the Cameroonian winger had a career-best season, scoring 20 league goals and registering eight assists. As a result, he is expected to command a steep fee—Sky Sports reports a potential price tag of around 70 million! Interest in the Premier League’s fourth top scorer (trailing only Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak, and Erling Haaland) has also come from Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle. However, the 25-year-old right winger has made it clear that his preferred destination is the Theatre of Dreams.African Bee getting ready to flee?Brentford manager Thomas Frank already hinted back in May that the club would be open to selling Mbeumo—but only for the right price.”For the right price, and it will be expensive, I’m sure the club will be open to selling him” Frank told Sky Sports at the time. Mbeumo, alongside Congo forward Yoane Wissa, formed one of the most effective attacking duos in the Premier League last season. He is capable of breaking through defenses both from the wing and through the center. Brentford is now set to reap a massive return on their shrewd investment from 2019, when they signed the Cameroonian from French club Troyes for just 6.5 million euros. On his part, Mbuemo clearly choose money over playing European football as he is hoping to get a massive wage increase of around 250.000 pounds per week, which he certainly wouldn‘t get in Arsenal or Newcastle. ##NAJAVA_MECA_8963099##
