Transfer: ‘It would embarrassing’ – Parker warns Man United as Tottenham move to hijack Mbeumo’s deal
Former Manchester United footballer, Paul Parker, has told the club it would be very embarrassing if they fail to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford this summer.
According to him, the Red Devils would have themselves to blame if they by any chance fail in securing the services of the player who has made it clear he wants an Old Trafford move.
Tottenham Hotspur are said to be keen on hijacking Manchester United’s move for the player, despite the Red Devils being the frontrunners to sign him.
His former boss at Brentford, Thomas Frank, is allegedly keen on reuniting with the 25-year-old at Tottenham.
Parker told Gameshub, as quoted by the Daily Mirror,
“It’ll be very embarrassing for Manchester United if they can’t get the deal for Bryan Mbeumo over the line.
“If they don’t get him, it’ll be down to the club failing to get the deal done, rather than Mbeumo not wanting to go to Old Trafford.”
The forward was exceptional for Brentford in the 2024–25 season, netting 20 times and assisting 9 in 42 games across all competitions.
