Manchester United have had their latest bid for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo turned down, with the offer reportedly worth up to £62.5m. The bid included £55m upfront and £7.5m in add-ons, but Brentford remains firm on their valuation of the player.

Key Points:

• Bid Details: Manchester United offered £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons for Mbeumo.
• Previous Rejection: Earlier this month, a £45m bid with up to £10m in add-ons was also rejected.
• Brentford's Stance: The club is seeking a fee comparable to the £62.5m they received for Matheus Cunha.

Player Performance:

Bryan Mbeumo had a standout season with Brentford, scoring 20 goals and providing 9 assists. His consistent performance has made him a hot commodity in the transfer market.

Competition for Mbeumo:

Manchester United isn't the only club interested in Mbeumo. New Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, who previously coached Mbeumo at Brentford, is keen on reuniting with the forward. Additionally, several Champions League clubs have shown interest.

International Commitments:

Mbeumo, a Cameroon international, is expected to miss four weeks of the 2025-26 season due to the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. Cameroon's first group game is against Gabon on December 24.

Career Highlights:

Since joining Brentford from French club Troyes in 2019, Mbeumo has scored 70 goals in 242 appearances across all competitions. He played a pivotal role in Brentford's promotion to the Premier League in 2021.

What’s Next?

Manchester United may need to increase their offer or look elsewhere to bolster their attacking options. Brentford, on the other hand, will aim to retain their star player unless their valuation is met.
