20-goal star decides to join Man Utd instead of Arsenal

Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo has decided to join Manchester United amid interest from Arsenal, according to journalist David Ornstein.

The Cameroon international had a fantastic Premier League campaign with the Bees. He registered 20 goals and eight assists from 38 outings.

He is expected to pursue a bigger challenge this summer and Ornstein claims that Mbeumo is prepared to wait for a big-money move to United.

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are also keen admirers, but Mbeumo favours a move to the Red Devils instead.

United have already established contact with the player's representatives and they are expected to open negotiations with Brentford soon.

Brentford reportedly value the 25-year-old at around £50 million. United could seek to pay the fee over multiple seasons.

A deal for Mbeumo would be a huge statement for the Red Devils, having already agreed to land Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

The club will need to recoup funds for the purchases made. There is a high possibility that Bruno Fernandes could be sold.
