Bryan Mbeumo has reportedly made it clear that he wants to join Manchester United rather than sign for Tottenham. The Brentford winger is at the centre of a transfer battle following a sensational season with the Bees.
Mbeumo finished the 2024/25 campaign with 20 Premier League goals to his name, with only Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland finding the back of the net on more occasions. He helped Brentford record their best-ever Premier League finish as the Bees ended the campaign in 10th position. And the Cameroon international has come to the attention of United and Tottenham due to his sensational form in west London.
According to GiveMeSport, Mbeumo has made his preference to join the Red Devils clear. And his transfer agreement has been communicated to all suitors.
United are the only club currently in formal talks with Brentford over Mbeumo’s transfer and are solely focused on trying to agree a fee for the player.
Thomas Frank’s expected arrival at Tottenham may change some of Spurs’ summer transfer targets, with the 51-year-old Brentford boss working with Mbeumo for the last six years. But any suggestions that Tottenham are attempting to hijack the deal are premature.

Mbeumo was one of the Premier League’s best players last season as he dazzled in the absence of Ivan Toney, who departed Brentford last summer to sign for Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League.
Mbeumo didn’t miss a minute of Premier League action for the Bees throughout the campaign as his side found the back of the net 66 times.
The talented star scored braces during his side’s two clashes with Southampton and also struck twice in matches against Ipswich and Brighton. He scored away at Tottenham and also got his name on the scoresheet against the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle.

Mbeumo, who has been capped 22 times by his country, was said to be closing in on a move to Old Trafford at the end of last week.
But reports over the weekend suggested that Tottenham were ready to hijack the deal after pinpointing Mbeumo’s boss Frank as their ideal replacement for Ange Postecoglou.
Frank is said to be keen to take Mbeumo and his Bees team-mate Nathan Collins to Spurs with him should he take charge of the Europa League champions.
But it appears Mbeumo has already made his mind up about the destination of his next club, with the prospect of Champions League football seemingly not enough to convince him to move across the capital.
