Man United Return with Enhanced Offer for Brentford’s Mbeumo
Manchester United are understood to have tabled an improved proposal exceeding £60 million in their pursuit of Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo.
ESPN reports that the club’s initial approach, valued at approximately £55 million, was turned down by the West London outfit, prompting United to return with a strengthened package as they seek to accelerate negotiations.
The Old Trafford side has simultaneously moved to activate Matheus Cunha’s £62.5 million exit clause at Wolverhampton Wanderers, with the Brazilian attacker expected to finalise his switch following the conclusion of international duties.
Mbeumo, who found the net 20 times in Premier League competition during the previous campaign, represents manager Ruben Amorim’s priority target as the Portuguese coach addresses his squad’s offensive deficiencies.
Reports indicate the 25-year-old striker is inclined toward joining United, even with Newcastle United monitoring his situation closely.
