LONDON - Manchester United have reportedly agreed to sign Cameroonian winger Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford in a deal worth an initial £65 million (S$112 million), as manager Ruben Amorim steps up his overhaul of the team's misfiring attack.
Mbeumo attracted Amorim's attention with 20 goals in 38 Premier League games for the Bees last season.
Tottenham Hotspur, now managed by former Brentford boss Thomas Frank, were also chasing the 25-year-old before United's improved offer sealed the deal after their two previous bids were rebuffed.
The Red Devils will pay an additional £6 million in potential add-ons to Brentford.
Mbeumo is due to undergo a medical examination in time to travel to the United States on July 22, as Amorim's men start their pre-season tour.
