15 million yuan is obtained! Manchester United s signing Mbemo ushered in a turnaround, and Brentford s asking price is expected to be met

Manchester United's deal to sign Brentford striker Brian Mbemo is coming to light - the share of three old players' transfers may inject £15.12 million into the club, which may allow them to take the initiative in the tug-of-war with Brentford. The Red Devils have been negotiating with the Bee Legion for more than a month, and the player himself is eager to join, but the offer of more than £60 million has not yet met the other party's psychological expectations.

Anthony Ellanga: Newcastle signed the Swedish winger from Nottingham Forest for £52 million, and Manchester United added a 15% second transfer share clause when it sold it for £15 million in 2023. Forest made a profit of £37 million in this deal, so Manchester United could share about £5.5 million (if the final transaction price reaches £55 million, the share will increase).

Alvaro Carreras: Benfica will soon sell it to Real Madrid for £43.3 million. Manchester United will add a 20% share clause when it sells for £5 million in 2024, and is expected to be credited to £7.62 million.

Maxi Oyedele: The young midfielder who joined Legia from Manchester United from Warsaw has a termination fee of 6 million euros (about 5.2 million pounds). Manchester United holds a 40% share of the right, and can get another 2 million pounds if they transfer this summer. The three share transactions total about £15.12 million. Although it is not a huge sum of "changing the situation" for Manchester United, it is enough to make them more confident in Mbemo's transfer fee negotiations - Brentford has raised Mbemo's psychological price to around £70 million due to the high transfers of players such as Ellanda and Marduk, and this share may help Manchester United approach this number.

Manchester United's £55 million offer was rejected in early June, which increased to more than £60 million two weeks ago, but Brentford is still waiting and watching. Mbemo, who scored 20 goals last season, is the fourth Premier League scorer. His agent has clearly informed the Bees that "the players only want to go to Manchester United", which gives the Red Devils a certain initiative in the negotiations, but needs to balance the "premium range" with the Financial Fair Competition Rules (PSR).

If the £15.12 million share is added, Manchester United will actually pay less, which may prompt them to accept Brentford's final asking price. As industry insiders analyzed: "This money is not enough to sign superstars, but it can allow Manchester United to take the last step in key negotiations."

Manchester United coach Ruben Amorin urgently needs to strengthen the front line, and Mbemo's technical characteristics (2.1 key passes per game + 1.8 successful passes) are perfectly adapted to its 4-3-3 system. Compared with players such as Rashford and Garnacho who may leave the team, Mbemo's stability and finishing ability are more popular - his "expected goal value (xG)" in the Premier League last season is basically the same as the actual number of goals, and his efficiency is far higher than that of Manchester United's current striker.

As the preseason approaches, Manchester United hopes to finalize the deal as soon as possible, and the £15.12 million share of the money may become the key to breaking the deadlock. As the fans said: "Stop dragging it out, this money can just help the team overcome the last hurdle."
