BREAKING: Mbeumo and Leon joined, Gyokeres agree personal terms and Fofana undergoing medical to join- Arsenal latest transfer news as the Reds signed two superstars and three more undergoing medical to join
Manchester United have reached a ‘full agreement’ with Brentford for their star attacker Bryan Mbeumo, according to claims from CentreDevils.
The Premier League heavyweights are reportedly closing in on their second summer signing, with Mbeumo set to join alongside Matheus Cunha, whose arrival was announced earlier this month.
The Cameroonian international has been pushing for a move to Old Trafford since giving priority to United last month, although Brentford held firm on their valuation.
The Bees rejected United’s initial £55m bid for the 25-year-old forward, but the club succeeded with a second proposal worth around £60m, including add-ons.

Set to join alongside Matheus Cunha
According to CentreDevils, Mbeumo is now set to become United’s second major attacking reinforcement of the summer, with agreements reached with both club and player.
The Cameroonian forward is expected to sign a long-term contract at Old Trafford, taking United’s summer spending to around £122.5m after the £62.5m acquisition of Cunha earlier this month.
Mbeumo is coming off a career-best Premier League season with Brentford, having scored 20 goals and provided eight assists in 38 appearances last term.
The 25-year-old winger was also a target for Tottenham following his impressive campaign, with Spurs reportedly keen to reunite him with former boss Thomas Frank.
Man United are expected to pursue a new striker following the deal for Mbeumo but may have to look elsewhere amid a recent Viktor Gyokeres blow.
The Sporting Lisbon star has reportedly informed United that his preference is to join Arsenal this summer, as he aims to play Champions League football next season.
