Manchester United are making headlines once again in the transfer market, this time with an aggressive pursuit of Brentford’s talismanic winger Bryan Mbeumo.
After a breakout season where the 25-year-old scored 20 goals and assisted 7 in all competitions, Mbeumo has drawn attention from several top clubs. United had an initial bid of £45 million plus £10 million in add-ons rejected, but sources suggest the club is preparing a second offer that could exceed £60 million.
Mbeumo, who has just one year left on his contract, has reportedly requested a significant wage increase—from £50,000 to around £250,000 per week. While Brentford are open to talks, they are in no rush to sell, especially given the interest and potential for a bidding war.
Here’s Why Man Utd Want Bryan Mbeumo
United are keen to revamp their attacking options, with Mbeumo seen as a key component of Erik ten Hag’s summer rebuild. Whether Brentford are willing to let go of their prized asset could depend on United’s next bid and whether the player pushes for a move.
