He honed his game on raw pitches, sharpened his instincts at Troyes, and fought his way to the top with work ethic and belief. When Brentford took a chance on him in 2019, he was still a teenager. What followed was something special.
He formed one-third of Brentford’s iconic "BMW" front line, alongside Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma. Watkins went to Aston Villa, Benrahma to West Ham. Mbeumo stayed.
He waited. He worked. He became the best of them.
Now, in 2025, he’s the name on Manchester United’s radar. The club is doing everything it can to bring him to Old Trafford. And rightly so. Because Bryan Mbeumo is no longer just Brentford’s best player. He’s one of the best wingers in the world.
🔥 What the Football World Is Saying 🗣
🗣Tony Cascarino: “He’s got so much about him. He’s got goals. He’s got durability. He’s just a nuisance every time he plays.”
🗣Jason Cundy: “Bryan Mbeumo off the right side is as good as anything outside of Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka right now.”
🗣DataMB: “Only Mohamed Salah had more goals + assists than Bryan Mbeumo among wingers in the Top 5 Leagues this season — 27 G/A.”
🗣A Reddit fan said it best: “He doesn’t get the love he deserves because he’s at Brentford. But he’s one of the most complete players I’ve seen. Ball control, awareness, defense, attack, all world-class.”

What Made Mbeumo Special 🌟⚽
💨 Pace and Purpose;
Mbeumo is fast, but it’s not just raw speed. It’s speed with intelligence. He times his runs, drives directly at defenders, and thrives in transition. When Brentford break, Mbeumo is almost always leading the charge.
🧵 Dribbling and Control;Tight space? He’s comfortable. Defender tight? He’ll beat them. His low center of gravity and quick feet make him slippery and unshakable.
🎯 Finishing and Composure;
Whether it’s a curled finish or a cool penalty, Mbeumo is ice in front of goal. He doesn't snatch at chances. He picks his moment and hits the net.
📬 Crossing and Creation;
He’s a true threat on the cut-back. Mbeumo whips in inverted crosses with pace, often catching defenses unbalanced. He also links play with ease, feeding strikers and midfielders from the half-space.
