Rise at Brentford
Mbeumo joined Brentford from Troyes in 2019 for a club-record £5.8 million. In his debut 2019-20 Championship season, he scored 16 goals in 47 appearances, earning EFL award nominations.
Promoted to the Premier League in 2021, he adapted seamlessly, scoring his first hat-trick as a substitute in the FA Cup against Port Vale. By 2024-25, he led Brentford with 20 Premier League goals, outperforming his xG by +7.7, the league's highest.
His versatility shone in various roles, from forward to wing-back, making him indispensable under Thomas Frank.
Manchester United Transfer and Impact
The £71 million transfer to Manchester United in July 2025 was a statement signing. Early struggles gave way to brilliance, with goals against Liverpool and Brighton highlighting his big-game mentality.
October's heroics, including a brace and an assist, clinched his first Player of the Month honor. His expected assists leadership from prior seasons translated into key contributions for United.
Recent matches, like a goal in a 4-1 win on December 8, underscore his ongoing influence amid United's competitive standings push.
2025/26 Season Stats and Form
As of mid-December 2025, Mbeumo has played 16 Premier League matches for United, scoring 6 goals with 1 assist. Highlights include goals on August 30, October 19, October 25 (brace), November 8, and December 8.
His stats show consistent involvement: averaging over 2 shots per game, with strong on-target accuracy. Recent games feature high shot volumes, like 4 shots in the December 15 draw.
Despite a tough match noted in early December reports, Mbeumo's form positions him as a cornerstone for United's title aspirations.
