Jason Wilcox has labelled Bryan Mbeumo the “perfect fit” after the Brentford forward completed his £65million move to Manchester United. United’s director of football went on to say Mbeumo, who Ruben Amorim ’s side opened negotiations for in June, was a primary target for the club.

Manchester United announced the signing of forward Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford for a transfer fee sources told ESPN was worth in excess of £70m.

Manchester United have bought Bryan Mbeumo for an initial £65m to take Ruben Amorim ’s summer spending on attackers past £120m. The Cameroon international, whose fee could rise to £71m if add-ons are triggered, has signed a five-year deal at Old Trafford, while United have the option to extend it for a further season.
