Man United Enlists Andre Onana Role in £60m Bryan Mbeumo Pursuit

Manchester United are actively pursuing Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo as a key summer signing, facing stiff competition from Tottenham Hotspur, who recently appointed Mbeumo’s former Brentford manager Thomas Frank. Despite Tottenham's interest and Frank's influence, Mbeumo reportedly prefers a move to United, influenced significantly by his Cameroon teammate and United goalkeeper Andre Onana, who has encouraged him to choose Old Trafford. United have had a £45 million bid rejected but remain confident, with Onana playing a behind-the-scenes role in persuading Mbeumo. Mbeumo has praised Frank’s impact on his development but acknowledges the uncertainties of a footballer’s life amid transfer speculation. Meanwhile, United are eager to bolster their squad under new head coach Ruben Amorim after a disappointing season finish, with Onana expressing commitment to the club despite an unclear personal future. Fans have reacted humorously to Onana’s role in the transfer saga, reflecting mixed views on his contributions.
