Manchester United remain in the driving seat to sign Brentford talisman Bryan Mbeumo.
Early this month, The Athletic reported that Mbeumo has decided to join United despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Arsenal.
The Red Devils accordingly opened talks with Brentford to find an agreement over a summer move. United submitted an opening offer of £45million and £10m in add-ons but the Bees turned it down earlier this month.
Since then, things have gone quiet with United yet to return with an improved offer. Further, Tottenham’s appointment of Thomas Frank has led to some fears among the United faithful.
Frank signed the Cameroonian from French outfit Troyes in 2019. Since then, Mbeumo has been a key cog in the Danish tactician’s setup at the Gtech Community Stadium. Their relationship dynamic has once again brought Spurs back into the picture.
However, according to the Manchester Evening News, United remain confident of finalising a deal for the 25-year-old.
