This development comes as a setback for Newcastle United, who were also keen on acquiring the 25-year-old’s services .
Mbeumo’s impressive performance in the 2024-25 Premier League season, where he netted 20 goals and provided seven assists, has made him a sought-after player.
His goal tally was surpassed only by Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak, and Mohamed Salah .
Manchester United’s manager, Ruben Amorim, is under pressure following the team’s 15th-place finish in the league and a Europa League final loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
The potential addition of Mbeumo, alongside the already secured signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, is seen as a strategic move to revitalize the squad .
However, Mbeumo’s arrival could signal the end of Bruno Fernandes’s tenure at Old Trafford, with the midfielder reportedly attracting interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
The club is said to be willing to offer around £100 million for Fernandes, who was United’s top scorer and assist provider last season, reports Sports Mole.
As Manchester United prepares for significant changes, the acquisition of Mbeumo could be a pivotal step in their efforts to rebuild and improve their standing in the upcoming season.
