Manchester United have completed the signing of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a deal worth up to £71 million.
United announced Mbeumo’s signing via a statement on Monday.
The club stated: “Manchester United is pleased to confirm that Bryan Mbeumo has joined the club, subject to registration.
“The Cameroon international has signed a contract until June 2030, with the option to extend for a further year.”
After weeks of protracted talks and rejected bids, United and Brentford agreed a package last Friday that included a guaranteed £65 million payment to be made in four installments, as well as £6 million in add-ons.

Mbeumo has joined in time to be part of the United squad that flies to the United States on Tuesday for the club’s pre-season tour.
Mbeumo said: “As soon as I knew there was a chance to join Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to sign for the club of my dreams; the team whose shirt I wore growing up.
“My mentality is to always be better than I was yesterday. I know that I have the spirit and character to reach another level here learning from Ruben Amorim and playing alongside world-class players.
“Everybody told me about the environment that is being created here and how exciting the plans are for the future.
“This is a massive club, with an incredible stadium and amazing fans, we are all really determined to challenge for the biggest trophies.”
