Mbeumo has signed a five-year contract with United, with the option of another year, and will link up with his new teammates in the USA as they take part in the Premier League Summer Series over the next 10 days.

After six weeks of fluctuating speculation, United got their man. The Red Devils eventually agreed a deal on Monday thought to be worth a final £71 million ($95.7 million) made up of an initial £65 million ($87.6 million) plus £6 million ($8.1 million) spread over four years. Yet, the shadowy details of the discussions have begun to emerge.

Bryan Mbeumo wore Manchester United shirts with Cristiano Ronaldo growing up and is now excited to follow in his footsteps at the “biggest club in the world”. The 25-year-old finally completed his move from Brentford on Monday for £65million plus a potential £6million in add-ons after weeks of negotiations.
