I Am Frustrated — Mbeumo Ready to Force Move to Join Amorim’s Man United

 Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo has expressed frustration with his current situation, signaling his intent to force a transfer to Manchester United under new manager Rúben Amorim, according to comments reported on July 10, 2025. 

The 25-year-old Cameroonian, who scored 9 goals and provided 6 assists in the 2024-25 Premier League season, feels stifled by Brentford’s mid-table prospects and is eager to join United’s ambitious rebuild. Amorim, appointed in June 2025, has identified Mbeumo as a key target to bolster the attack alongside Rasmus Højlund.

Mbeumo’s contract, valid until 2026, has a £40 million release clause, which United are prepared to meet, though Brentford demand £55 million. The player’s frustration stems from limited European football and a desire to compete for titles, a sentiment echoed in interviews where he praised Amorim’s tactical vision. 

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has acknowledged Mbeumo’s ambition but hopes to retain him, citing his 2023-24 season of 15 goals. Negotiations are ongoing, with a deadline of August 15, 2025, as United face competition from Newcastle.
