Manchester United have seen their improved £62.5m bid for Bryan Mbeumo rejected by Brentford, as the Premier League transfer saga continues. The Cameroon international, who scored 20 goals last season, is a top target for Erik ten Hag’s side, but the Bees are holding firm on their valuation.
Manchester United’s Pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo
-
Initial £55m bid rejected – United’s first offer was turned down last week.
-
Improved £62.5m bid also rejected – Matching their previous signing of Matheus Cunha from Wolves.

Mbeumo keen on Old Trafford move – The forward is reportedly eager to join Man Utd.

Tottenham Hotspur also interested – Spurs, now managed by Mbeumo’s former boss Thomas Frank, have held preliminary talks.
Why Bryan Mbeumo is in High Demand
The 25-year-old winger was one of the Premier League’s standout performers last season:
-
20 goals & 7 assists – Only three players scored more in the league.
-
League-high 9.26 expected assists (xA) – Created numerous chances with 202 crosses.
-
Elite work rate – Ranked among the top players for distance covered & sprints.
