Jason Wilcox has labelled Bryan Mbeumo the “perfect fit” after the Brentford forward completed his £65million move to Manchester United. United’s director of football went on to say Mbeumo, who Ruben Amorim ’s side opened negotiations for in June, was a primary target for the club.

Manchester United have signed forward Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford until 2030, with the option to extend for a further year, United said on Monday.
