Manchester United stars Leny Yoro and Amad Diallo has confirmed Bryan Mbeumo is on his way to Old Trafford.
United’s summer transfer business began with a bang with a deal to sign Matheus Cunha wrapped up in June.
They have been desperate to pair the Brazil international with Mbeumo in Ruben Amorim’s new look attack next season but saw two bids rejected by Brentford.
After a two-week stalemate, United returned with a third bid worth an initial £65million with £5million in add-ons which was accepted on Saturday.
United got their pre-season campaign underway with a goalless draw against Leeds United in Stockholm with Cunha making his first appearance for his new side.

Speaking in the mixed zone to the Scandinavian Supporters’ club after the draw with Leeds, Yoro commented: ‘Bryan is a very good player, and I am very happy that he is coming to us.
‘That’s my guy, and I am waiting for him now. It has taken some time, but he is here now.’
Mbeumo will join fellow Cameroon international Andre Onana in the squad and could find himself competing for one of Amorim’s no10 roles alongside Amad Diallo.
The Ivory Coast international also suggested the deal to take the Brentford star to Manchester is done, relishing the opportunity to play alongside him.
‘Of course I’m looking forward to playing with him,’ Amad said.
