Manchester United Trying To Complete Mbeumo Transfer Before United States Tour

JAKARTA - Manchester United hope to complete the recruitment of Bryan Mbeumo on time in order to enter the squad for a pre-season tour to the United States.

The Red Devils have agreed a more than 70 million deal with Brentford for the Cameroonian forward.

Mbeumo has undergone medical tests and approved personal terms before his move to Old Trafford.

The official announcement is expected to take place this week. Ruben Amorim's team will fly to their training base in Chicago on Tuesday, July 22, 2025, local time.

Manchester United will play three games in the United States during visits to Chicago, New York and Atlanta.

They started their pre-season schedule with a 0-0 draw against Leeds United in Stockholm on Saturday, July 19, 2025, local time.

Mbeumo will be Manchester United's second major signing this summer after Matheus Cunha who was signed from Wolverhampton Wanderers for 62.5 million pounds.

The Brazilian made his debut against Leeds in Sweden.

Apart from that, Marcus Rashford will not participate in the trip group to the United States because he is loaned out to Barcelona.

Manchester United is in the process of negotiating a deal that will make Barcelona bear 100 percent of Rashford's salary.
