Premier League mid-table team 20 goals and 7 assists Manchester United and Newcastle compete for Mbeumo The Bees have a price tag of 50 million pounds

The winger of a mid-table Premier League team who can score 20 goals and provide seven assists in the Premier League in a season is an absolute blast: Brentford's 25-year-old Cameroonian right winger Mbeumo.

According to the latest report from the Manchester Evening News, Manchester United are still looking to sign Mbeumo after finalising a deal for Cunha, but facing competition from Champions League side Newcastle United, Brentford have a £50 million price tag on Mbeumo on a one-year contract.

Manchester United are fifth from bottom in the Premier League this season, and the Europa League final has left the team with no European games to play next season, which is the disadvantage of Manchester United and Newcastle United in the battle for Mbeumo, mainly depending on the player's willingness. With Mbeumo's form this season, whether he goes to Manchester United or Newcastle United, Mbeumo has the strength to play the main team.

The 25-year-old, 1.71-metre-tall, left-footed player who plays as a right winger and can also play as a second striker, has played all 38 Premier League games this season, scoring 20 goals and providing seven assists. Mbeumo has only one year left on his contract with Brentford, and until the end of June 2026, Manchester United and Newcastle United can use the advantage of the contract year to bargain with Brentford, with the player valued at €55 million in Germany.

Mbeumo's 20 Premier League goals this season are tied for fourth behind Mohamed Salah, Isak and Haaland. Manchester United desperately need Mbeumo to solve the team's stubborn problem of lack of strikers, and Newcastle United also desperately need Mbeumo's attacking strength on the right to enhance their Champions League competitiveness next season.
