One year left in the contract, 50 million, exchange it for Garnacho. Five reasons Manchester United attract Mbewumo
5:24pm, 27 May 2025Football
Who will Manchester United sign up after Manchester United wins Cunha? The two Premier League players who are currently discussed by foreign media are the most popular: Ipswich's center Drapp and Brentford's winger Mbewumo. Because Drapp is 30 million pounds in termination, it is extremely popular in the Premier League. He is a player who will not suffer any losses after buying it. Manchester United faces great competitive pressure, and everyone knows that Manchester United needs to make up for the center.
So, what about Mbeumo? Romano, Daily Mail and other media confirmed that Manchester United is indeed interested in Brentford winger Mbeumo. Chris Wheeler of Daily Mail even said that Manchester United has started the first round of contact. What are the characteristics of this bearded winger and want to sign this player?
One reason: few injuries, almost full attendance
This season, Mbeumo played 38 rounds of league games in the Premier League, with a total playing time of 3415 minutes. Only one game was replaced, which is a full attendance data. He actually didn't get hurt much in his nearly 6 seasons at Brentford. This data is extremely rare at Manchester United. As we all know, Manchester United has suffered a lot of injuries in these two seasons.
Manchester United currently focuses on the right winger and right front midfielder Amade Diallo, who has been injured and half of his time in three seasons after joining Manchester United in January 2021. Diallo has a relatively small body shape and is a relatively easy-to-be injured player. Once Diallo is injured, Manchester United lacks people on the right, so Manchester United must consider signings from the right winger and the right midfielder.
Reason 2: 20 goals and 7 assists in a single season, 5th in the Premier League scorer list
Mbeumo scored 20 goals and 7 assists in the Premier League this season. There are very few players who can score 20 goals in the Premier League. Mbeumo is among the top five scorers in the Premier League, and can also rank at the top in the Premier League assists list. Among the right-side players in the Premier League, only Salah's goal data is better than Mbeumo.
Although there is Brentford's tactical inclination, Mbeumo also has its own characteristics to flash data. It is not surprising that Manchester United's difficulty in scoring goals this season. Among the five teams in the Premier League this season, no player scored more than two figures in the Premier League, one of which is Manchester United. The player with the most goals in the Premier League is B Fee's 8 goals.
Mbeumo has completed 79 shots (Premier League), fewer than Garnacho (84 shots), less than B Fei (91 shots), with a 19% shooting conversion rate and can score 1 goal in nearly 5 shots. Manchester United's Garnacho and B Fei need 20 shots. The key is that Mbeumo's shooting distance has reached 17.9 meters, which is a long shot, and it is reliable to play one shot.
Reason 3: Can play right wing forward + right wingback, versatile wingback
Manchester United has 2 roles on the right side: the right front midfielder and the right wingback. The right front midfielder needs to move on the ribs, while the right wingback needs to move on the wing. The requirements between the two are different. The right front midfielder needs more horizontal movements, and completes intersecting running and shooting in the ribs, while the right wingback needs more pulling widths and crossing at the bottom.
Among them, Amorin has many transfers to the right midfielder and right wingback. The left side has a big opening and closing, the cross from the wing, and the right side has a short pass and delicate cooperation. This is the characteristics that Manchester United has shown during this period.
The following picture shows the comparison of key offensive data between Amade Diallo and Mbeumo. Mbeumo is almost omnipotent, and his many data exceeds 80% or even 90% of the wingers in the five major leagues. The only thing Amade Diallo can be better than Mbeumo is the number of short passes and the number of shots passing.
Mbeumo's characteristics ensure that he can occupy the wing, suppress the opponent's full-back's ability to press and assist, and slow down the pressure on Manchester United's side defense. His defensive data is not bad, and he is also a player suitable for high-pressing. His interception passes and steals in the third offensive zone also exceeded 50% of the winger players, and he mainly played a role in one who could attack and could also get back. Of course, his defensive ability should not be compared with Mazravi.
Reason 4: The ability to confront is actually okay
If you continue to compare the characteristics and abilities of Amade Diallo and Mbeumo, the following picture can be used as a representative. In the Premier League data this season, Mbeumo's touches in the third and midfield areas of the third are obviously higher than Diallo's, and the data in the third and defensive areas of the third are obviously higher than Diallo.
A winger player touches a lot of balls in the midfield and defense zones and gets a lot of defensive data. I believe everyone knows what it represents. Yes, Mbewumo was deeply involved in defense and participated in a large number of tasks of pushing and counterattacking the frontcourt in the backcourt. Isn’t Brentford’s main focus the tactics of combining high-level conversion and low-level counterattacks? This is not contradictory.
The difference between Mbeumo and Diallo is that it has good physical fitness. Diallo is more delicate and has more stable ball control, while Mbeumo is more rough, more direct, and has stronger ability to fight. This is a technical feature determined by the characteristics of the body. It is possible, I think it is possible. If Manchester United can defeat Mbeumo, Manchester United may use the right-hand attack configuration of Diallo's right front midfielder + Mbeumo's right wingback, and two wing players with different characteristics will be infinitely replaced.
Reason 5: With one year left in the contract period, everyone knows that Manchester United will need to sign and strengthen in the summer window, and everyone sharpens their swords and tries to Manchester United. Among Manchester United's signing targets this season, Cunha activates the termination fee, and Drapp also activates the termination fee, because there is a termination fee in the contract, so there is no need to negotiate the transfer fee, so as not to be taken over. Manchester United can't afford it now.
So what about Mbeumo? The contract is only one year left, and his contract with Brentford expires in 2026. Brentford also knew that he could not keep it anymore, so he could only charge the transfer fee as much as possible, otherwise he would be free of charge next year and he would not be able to receive any compensation. Therefore, Manchester United found the players who have the remaining one year of the contract period to avoid being beaten.
Currently rumored that the asking price for Brentford is £50 million. This is an old tradition of Brentford. When Tony of Brentford had two years left in contract, he dared to ask for a price of 80 million, which stopped most clubs from interest. Last summer window, he had to lower the price to 60 million, and finally 40 million pounds were sent to the Saudi League. The lion's big mouth is a characteristic of Brentford. This time, their asking price for Mbewumo was 50 million, which has room for discussion.
Player summary: Garnacho's transfer fee was exchanged for
Yesterday, media reported that Manchester United decided to attack Mbeumo because they confirmed that Garnacho left the team. Today, some media reported that the transfer fee for Manchester United signing Mbeumo needs to be determined based on the player's departure. Some media even reported that Manchester United intends to use Garnacho's transfer fee to sign Mbeumo. This is the meaning very obvious: use Garnacho's transfer fee to sign Mbeumo.
Manchester United will send away many winger players this summer window. Rashford, Sancho, Garnacho and Anthony are all players who want to send away. If they send away four wingers, they have been confirmed to win Cunha, and they will definitely sign another wing player. Mbeumo's performance in the Premier League is better than Garnacho and Sancho in any aspect. If Garnacho's transfer fee can be exchanged for such a player, it will be more obvious to the improvement of Manchester United's forward strength.
Moreover, it is obvious that most of Manchester United's signing targets this season are aimed at Premier League players.
