Dream move: Mbeumo signs for Man United

Cameroon winger swaps Brentford for Old Trafford, fulfilling a childhood wish

LONDON — Cameroon winger Bryan Mbeumo said on Monday that he "grew up wearing" a Manchester United shirt, after joining the club from Brentford on a deal until 2030, with an option for a further year.

Mbeumo, 25, will reportedly cost the 20-time league champion an initial 65 million pounds ($87 million) having scored 20 goals in 38 league games last season for the Bees.

Tottenham, now managed by former Brentford boss Thomas Frank, was also chasing the France-born attacker, before United's improved offer sealed the move.
