Brentford reject Man Utd’s new £62.5m Mbeumo bid

Bryan Mbeumo’s improved bid for Manchester United, valued at up to £62.5 million, was turned down by Brentford.

United have bid £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons for the 25-year-old.

The Cameroon forward’s bid of £45 million plus up to £10 million in add-ons was turned down earlier this month.

Since signing forward Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62,5 million, United are looking to add goals to their side.

Before agreeing to the sale of a player with a year left on his contract, sources claim Brentford would want at least the same upfront payment as Wolves did for Cunha.

Last season, Mbeumo added nine assists and scored a career-high 20 goals for Brentford.

There may be competition from other Champions League clubs, with Thomas Frank, who recently took over as Tottenham manager, looking to reunite with Mbeumo.

Because of Cameroon’s participation in the Morocco-Africa Cup of Nations, Mbeumo, an international partner of United goalkeeper Andre Onana, is likely to miss four weeks of the campaign for 2025-26.

On December 24th, Cameroon take on Gabon in their opening group game.

Mbeumo left French side Troyes for Brentford in 2019, while the Bees were still in the championship.
