'Hey Umbommo, let's play together for Manchester United.'
Manchester United will soon have a strong striker in the summer transfer window. It is on the verge of bringing in Brentford striker Brian Mbommo after defeating Tottenham Hotspur's persistent hijacking attempt. The club have already sent Brentford a further enhanced transfer offer. In addition to this, he even took out a trump card. An assistant who could hold Mbömo's heart firmly was added.
Team Talk, a British media outlet, reported on the 24th (Korea Standard Time) 'Manchester United's star player stepped up to secure the transfer of Mbömo' Manchester United's star player mentioned here is Andre Onana, the main goalkeeper. Onana personally contacts Mbomo to act as a facilitator for the transfer negotiations. Because I have a personal relationship.
Manchester United, led by head coach Hoobeng Amorim, suffered a disastrous failure in the 2024-2025 season. Coach Amorim, who took the helm after Erik ten Hach was dismissed in the middle, did not do much. In the end, Manchester United left a disastrous 15th place in the league. In the UEFA Europa League, they lost to Tottenham 0-1 and missed the championship cup.
Since then, coach Amorim is aiming to upgrade his power through the summer transfer market. In particular, they are focusing on forming a new offensive team. This is because poor aggression was pointed out as a direct factor in the sluggishness. So the focus of the transfer market is on bringing in strikers. Manchester United have already succeeded in signing Matheus Cunha last week. Then he goes after Mbomo.
However, there were some difficulties in bringing Mbömo. First of all, it was not easy to meet Brentford's eye level. According to Team Talk, Brentford value Mbomoh's transfer fee at £70m. United have invested £62.5m in bringing Cunha back from Wolverhampton. Recruitment of Mbomo is also about to end at this line.
Initially, Manchester United made an offer of a total of £55 million and was rejected by Brentford. The individual negotiations with Mbömo had been concluded, but there were difficulties in reaching an agreement between the clubs.
At this point, even a strong competitor appeared. It was Tottenham with manager Thomas Frank, who coached Mboumo at Brentford. Frank, who left Brentford and took the helm of Tottenham, also tried to take Mbommo. Tottenham attempted to hijack by offering a transfer fee above Manchester United. Director Frank also took the lead in persuading Mboumo.
However, Tottenham's attempts are likely to go up in smoke. First of all, Mbomo itself prefers the trend to Tottenham. Manchester United also offered Brentford an offer of more than £60 million, up from the previous one, to recruit Mbömo. A transfer fee is expected to form between £62.5 million and £70 million.
Team Talk reported that in addition to this, a powerful assistant appeared. It is Andre Onana, the leading goalkeeper of Manchester United, who played with Mbömo in Cameroon's national team. The media quoted The Athletic's report saying that onana was in constant contact with Mbomoh during discussions about Mbomoh's recruitment and that the two were Cameroonian national team colleagues and discussed playing for Manchester United together.

In the end, it means that Manchester United has gone all-in using all-round resources such as personal relationships as well as funds to recruit Mbömo. Tottenham couldn't win Manchester United's all-out war from the beginning. It may be only a matter of time before Mbomo wears a United jersey.
Manchester United are looking to sign Mbomoh before July. Journalist Ben Jacobs said on social media that `Manchester United's plan is to complete Mbömo's recruitment before the start of the pre-season on July 7'`Mbömo still prefers to join Manchester United` and expected Mbömo's trendy official to be released soon.
