Man Utd step up summer rebuild with £60m+ Mbeumo offer

The Brentford forward remains a top priority for the Red Devils, who are looking to inject pace and productivity into their frontline ahead of the new season.

Talks between the two clubs are ongoing, with Brentford holding firm on their valuation of the player. United's latest proposal marks a significant increase on their earlier £55 million bid, which was swiftly turned down.

Brentford are said to be open to negotiations, but remain keen to extract full value for one of their standout performers. Mbeumo, who notched 20 Premier League goals last term, is understood to favour a move to Old Trafford despite interest from elsewhere, including Tottenham.

His admiration for the clubps long-term project and existing connections within the dressing room are thought to be key factors behind his preference. Should the deal go through, the 25-year-old would be one of the most expensive signings in Brentford's history — and a significant coup for the Red Devils.
