Manchester United's bid of £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, who scored 20 goals last season, has been rejected. United are looking to add more firepower to their side after signing Matheus Cunha from Wolves. Brentford reportedly want at least the same fee as Wolves received for Cunha up front before considering a sale. Mbeumo, who joined Brentford from Troyes in 2019, has scored 70 goals in 242 appearances in all competitions.
Thomas Frank, the new Tottenham manager, is also reportedly interested in Mbeumo, while other Champions League clubs have shown interest. Mbeumo is set to miss four weeks of the 2025-26 campaign due to Cameroon's participation in the Africa Cup of Nations. Mbeumo, an international colleague of United goalkeeper Andre Onana, helped Brentford earn promotion to the Premier League in 2021.
