Man United Eyes Brentford's Mbeumo as Sancho Exits and Hojlund Faces Loan to Inter
Manchester United’s transfer window is heating up with multiple high-profile developments involving both arrivals and potential exits from Old Trafford.
According to reports by transfer expert David Ornstein, Brentford star forward Bryan Mbeumo has set his sights on joining Manchester United this summer. The 25-year-old Cameroonian international, who scored 20 goals and registered 7 assists this season, is reportedly prioritizing a move to United over other interested Premier League clubs, including Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle.
Brentford is expected to demand a fee north of $70 million for Mbeumo, who has only one year left on his current deal plus a club option. With United already investing $84 million in Wolves’ Matheus Cunha earlier in the window, speculation is swirling over the future of midfield maestro Bruno Fernandes.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan are reportedly pursuing a loan deal for United striker Rasmus Hojlund. The 22-year-old Danish international, who saw his goal tally drop from 10 to just 4 league goals in his second season, is no longer considered indispensable. Despite costing over $80 million, the Red Devils may now be open to loaning him out, especially with more attacking reinforcements expected.
Another confirmed exit is winger Jadon Sancho, who is set to leave Chelsea following the expiration of his loan spell. The two clubs failed to agree on personal terms, and Chelsea will pay a $7 million penalty rather than execute the $34 million obligation-to-buy clause. Sancho, who scored 3 goals and assisted 4 times last season, will return to United but is expected to be sold again.
Elsewhere, Brentford has completed the signing of Liverpool backup goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher for $17 million, replacing Mark Flekken, who joins Bayer Leverkusen for $15 million. The move signals Brentford’s continued smart business strategy in the transfer market.
With Mbeumo’s desire to move and United’s urgent rebuild under way, fans are bracing for more dramatic changes before preseason kicks off.
