Sources have confirmed that Manchester United has raised its offer for Brentford winger Brian Mbeumo. The updated bid is valued at £65 million ($87 million), with an additional £5 million ($7 million) in performance-related bonuses. Brentford has not yet confirmed whether this proposal meets their expectations.
Following the signing of Matheus Cunha, United has made Mbeumo a key target.
In discussions, Brentford indicated that Mbeumo’s valuation exceeded £62.5 million, a sum that was acceptable when Cunha transferred from Wolves to Old Trafford.
At a younger age, Mbeumo scored more goals in the Premier League last season compared to Cunha. Interest in the Cameroonian striker is further complicated by Brentford’s inquiries into his striking partner, Yoane Wissa.

Sources indicate Brentford is hesitant to release both players in the same transfer window.
United aims to finalize Mbeumo’s deal in hopes of including him in their preseason tour to the US.

Fan Take: This news is significant for soccer fans as it highlights Manchester United’s aggressive pursuit of talent to strengthen their squad. A successful acquisition of Mbeumo could not only elevate the team’s performance but also raise the stakes in the evolving transfer market dynamics.
