Mbeumo rubbed shoulders with Ronaldo on three occasions after he returned to Old Trafford in 2021. The first two outings ended in Brentford defeats before a truly seismic afternoon at the Gtech Community Stadium in August 2022 which saw Mbeumo score the final goal in a 4–0 thrashing of United.

Manchester United are trying to make ends meet by offloading their so-called "deadwood" but it will not be easy without losing a lot of money.

Mbeumo scored 70 goals and registered 51 assists in 242 games for Brentford since joining in 2019 from Troyes.
