JUST IN: Manchester United Make Bryan Mbeumo Decision After Brentford Reject Second Bid, Mbeumo Has Expressed His Desire
Manchester United make Bryan Mbeumo decision after Brentford reject second bid
Man Utd want to sign Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford this summer but the London club are currently hanging tough.
Manchester United are continuing talks with Brentford after their second bid for Bryan Mbeumo was knocked back.
United submitted an improved bid in excess of £60million for Mbeumo, but that has fallen short of Brentford’s valuation and talks are continuing between the two clubs to find a compromise.
Mbeumo has expressed his desire to move to Old Trafford, despite interest from other clubs.
United launched an opening bid worth £55m for Mbeumo earlier this month. Brentford rejected the opening bid and subsequently knocked back the improved offer for the 25-year-old.
Mbeumo contributed 20 goals and eight assists in the Premier League last season, predominantly playing on the right wing but also making a handful of appearances down the middle.
United completed the £62.5m signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves as their first deal of the summer transfer window and Mbeumo would further strengthen Ruben Amorim’s attacking options.
Mbeumo is about to enter the final year of his Brentford contract, although the London club have the option of triggering a one-year extension in his deal, which helps their bargaining power.
United would like to wrap up a deal for Mbeumo as soon as possible so he can report for the beginning of pre-season at Carrington, which is scheduled to begin on July 7.
