Man United submit fresh £60m transfer bid for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo
Man United step up pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo
- Manchester United has made a second bid of £60m for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, after their initial offer of £45m plus £10m in add-ons was rejected.
- Bryan Mbeumo has indicated his desire to join Manchester United, despite interest from other clubs including Newcastle and Tottenham.
- Brentford is seeking a transfer fee for Mbeumo similar to the £62.5m United paid for Matheus Cunha, noting Mbeumo's 20 Premier League goals last season.
- United aims to strengthen its attack, having scored only 44 league goals last season, and may fund the transfer by selling players such as Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Jadon Sancho.
- Tottenham, now managed by Mbeumo's former coach Thomas Frank and having secured Champions League football, is also a strong contender for the Cameroon international.
