Best glue to repair this break?

Many thanks!


Titebond will work fine.
Optional: add dowels for joint strength.
Nix on biscuits or pocket screws as you will likely destroy more of the MDF.

So apparently you have not repaired MDF with biscuits or pocket hole
screws. You might give it a try some time, you will probably be surprised.
