Manchester United has intensified its pursuit of Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, submitting multiple bids over the past six weeks. The club's latest offer stands at £65 million plus £5 million in add-ons, totaling a £70 million package, which matches Brentford's current valuation. Despite earlier bids of £55 million plus add-ons and £62.5 million including add-ons being rejected by Brentford, negotiations have continued with both clubs working on the deal's structure. Mbeumo, a 26-year-old Cameroon international and Brentford's top scorer, has expressed a clear preference to join Manchester United over other interested clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, who have denied making an offer. Brentford, owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, initially sought around £65 million but later increased their asking price to £70 million, aiming to secure a fee comparable to the £62.5 million Manchester United paid for Matheus Cunha. Manchester United has set internal deadlines to conclude the transfer and remains hopeful of finalizing the deal before the club's pre-season tour in the United States. Medical examinations for Mbeumo are provisionally scheduled, with final contract details pending. Brentford is also preparing for the possibility of Mbeumo's departure by targeting replacements such as Omari Hutchinson. Talks remain ongoing, with Manchester United maintaining a disciplined stance on the transfer fee while aiming to complete the signing promptly.
