Arsenal, Manchester United Target Bryan Mbeumo

Manchester United and Arsenal are both vying for the signature of Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo, who has had an outstanding season, scoring 13 goals in 20 Premier League matches. Mbeumo, 25, has emerged as a key target for both clubs, with Arsenal seeking a backup for Bukayo Saka and United looking to bolster their attacking options amid a transition phase. Brentford has made it clear that Mbeumo is not for sale during the January transfer window, but they may consider offers in the summer when he will have two years left on his contract. Both clubs face challenges in convincing Mbeumo to join them, as Arsenal can offer Champions League football, while United's current league position may deter him. The Red Devils are reportedly preparing a £40 million bid, but they will need to navigate a competitive market that includes interest from Newcastle United. Mbeumo's versatility makes him an attractive option, but he would need to weigh his starting opportunities at both clubs carefully.
