Mbeumo has signed a five-year contract with United, with the option of another year, and will link up with his new teammates in the USA as they take part in the Premier League Summer Series over the next 10 days.

After six weeks of fluctuating speculation, United got their man. The Red Devils eventually agreed a deal on Monday thought to be worth a final £71 million ($95.7 million) made up of an initial £65 million ($87.6 million) plus £6 million ($8.1 million) spread over four years. Yet, the shadowy details of the discussions have begun to emerge.

Manchester United finally secured the £71million signing of Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo on Monday night. United, who have been chasing Mbeumo since early June, wrapped up a deal for the 25-year-old for an initial £65m, with a further £6m in add-ons.
