Manchester United remain relaxed over their pursuit of Brentford ace Bryan Mbeumo and are still considered the favourites to sign him in the summer transfer window.
United saw an opening bid of £45 million plus a further £10m in add-ons rejected by Brentford earlier this month and remain in negotiations with the London club ahead of a revised formal offer. It is understood the next official bid could be United's final proposal as they look to get their business done as early as possible this summer.
Brentford are holding out for a fee in the region of the £62.5m United have agreed to pay for Matheus Cunha, while Ruben Amorim's side are hopeful they can reach an agreement for a lower fee than the current asking price. Mbeumo has privately indicated he would prefer to join United this summer despite Thomas Frank’s appointment at Tottenham Hotspur. The Dane managed Mbeumo for six years, though his move to North London was not much of a surprise and is something the player would have been aware of before he prioritised an Old Trafford transfer.
