Manchester United Pursues Brentford Striker Mbeumo Amid £62.5m Bid Rejection

News summary

Manchester United is actively pursuing Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, having submitted bids exceeding £60 million, though Brentford is holding out for around £63-65 million. United has already signed Matheus Cunha for £62.5 million and is trying to balance their transfer budget while targeting proven Premier League players like Mbeumo. Brentford's sporting director Phil Giles confirmed that Mbeumo prefers a move to Manchester United but will remain with Brentford if the financial terms are not met. Tottenham, managed by former Brentford boss Thomas Frank, is also interested, but Mbeumo favors United. Manchester United has cooled interest in other strikers such as Jhon Durán and Hugo Ekitiké due to high costs and is focusing on more affordable options amid ongoing negotiations. The club aims to avoid overpaying and is mindful of previous transfer experiences where they conceded to high asking prices, emphasizing the need to set a firm limit in negotiations for Mbeumo.
