Manchester United’s second bid for Bryan Mbeumo, worth £62.5m, has been rejected by Brentford.
The improved offer from United is the same figure they paid for Wolves’ Matheus Cunha
United had already seen a bid worth £55m rejected. Talks between the two sides are continuing with Mbeumo wanting to join the Old Trafford club.
According to reports, it was revealed earlier this month that Spurs have also held initial talks with Brentford for the 25-year-old.
Mbeumo is understood to be intrigued by Spurs, who have just appointed his former boss Thomas Frank, but one source has told Sky Sports News that he is leaning towards United.
Mbeumo is a player United have admired for a while, and he is seen as a good fit for Ruben Amorim’s system.
There is a feeling at Brentford that Mbeumo has earned the chance to move to a bigger club this summer if one meets his valuation.
