Manchester United has been given a fortunate advantage in their quest for Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, as Tottenham Hotspur has opted out of the transfer contention.
This development allows manager Ruben Amorim to pursue his second significant signing of the summer.
United has been monitoring Mbeumo closely for some time. Concerns arose when Tottenham was rumored to be interested, particularly since Brentford’s coach, Thomas Frank, is a leading candidate for the Spurs managerial role.
However, a source from the club has indicated to Mail Sport that a move for Mbeumo is now considered “highly unlikely,” allowing United to focus ahead without any worries.
What makes Mbeumo a target for Manchester United?
Since his move from Troyes in 2019, Mbeumo has been a key player for Brentford. The Cameroon forward has scored 70 times in 242 matches, including 42 goals in the Premier League.
For a club like United, which struggled to score last season with only 44 goals, Mbeumo could provide the attacking threat they’ve been lacking.
The Red Devils have already made an initial bid of £55 million ($70m), but Brentford turned it down. With Spurs stepping back, United is expected to present a higher offer shortly.
Amorim is keen to finalize this signing swiftly, allowing his team ample time to build chemistry before preseason.
His first acquisition, Matheus Cunha, was secured for £62.5 million, and signing Mbeumo next would significantly enhance United’s attacking options.
With memories of last season’s lack of scoring still vivid, supporters at Old Trafford could soon witness a revitalized attacking style from the Red Devils.
