Manchester United Target Brentford Winger as Next Signing – Following the completion of their latest transfer, Manchester United are focusing on securing a deal for a Brentford winger
Fresh off confirming their latest transfer, Manchester United have shifted their attention to bolstering their attacking options, with a Brentford winger now firmly in their sights. Manager Erik ten Hag and the United recruitment team are reportedly keen to secure the wide forward as their next signing of the summer.
Press Conference Hint from Ten Hag
In this afternoon’s press conference at Carrington, Erik ten Hag subtly hinted at United’s next move in the transfer market.
“We’re not done yet. We have identified areas where we want more speed, creativity, and directness in the final third,” he told reporters. “We are in discussions and hopeful of adding another exciting attacking player soon.”
Though Ten Hag did not name the player, sources suggest the focus has turned to a standout Brentford winger who has impressed Premier League audiences with his explosive pace, dribbling ability, and eye for goal.
Who Is the Winger?
While no official name has been confirmed, reports circulating from Old Trafford insiders point to Keane Lewis-Potter and Bryan Mbeumo as leading candidates. Mbeumo, in particular, is believed to have caught the attention of United scouts with his versatility to play across the front line and his consistent performances for Brentford over the past few seasons.
United’s Transfer Strategy Taking Shape
After completing their latest signing — a defensive midfielder whose arrival was officially announced yesterday — Manchester United have made it clear that strengthening their attack is now a priority. The club wants to ease the creative burden on Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho while adding depth to navigate a demanding Premier League and European campaign.
Brentford’s Stance
Brentford, meanwhile, are reportedly bracing for official contact from United. The London club value their winger highly and would be reluctant to part ways without a significant offer. However, the lure of a move to Old Trafford could prove difficult for the player to resist.
Fan Reactions and Transfer Window Outlook
United fans have reacted positively to the news, with many welcoming the idea of fresh, dynamic options out wide. One fan wrote on X:
“We need players with hunger and pace. If it’s Mbeumo, I’m all for it. Get it done, United!”
The Red Devils are expected to make their move in the coming days, with discussions over personal terms and transfer fee negotiations likely to take place swiftly.
What’s Next?
With pre-season fast approaching and United keen to have their squad settled early, the next 72 hours could be decisive in determining whether the Brentford winger becomes Erik ten Hag’s second summer signing.
