According to the British press, two more Premier League clubs joined the race to win Bryan Mbeumo with MU. So, is it a turning point that makes the Reds Manchester determined to pursue this striker?
The race for MBeumo's signature is getting hotter. Accordingly, there have been new developments in this deal, causing MU to be impatient, worried about missing the top goal. Because two more Premier League clubs expressed interest in one of the most sought after strikers in Europe, including Aston Villa.
In early June, there was a lot of information that the French -original Cameroon player expressed his desire to join MU more than other pockets interested in England, when the Red Devils began negotiating with Brentford to soon reach the necessary agreement on the MBEumo transfer deal. The first offer worth £ 45 million plus 10 million pounds of surcharges was rejected by Brentford, but after the parties continued to negotiate, according to journalist Duncan Castles, MU has now made a offer worth more than £ 60 million.
It is known that the Old Trafford team is always expected to return to another offer after their initial offer is rejected. However, the appointment of Thomas Frank (Brentford coach last season) in Tottenham seems to have hindered this effort, while other clubs are still very interested in Mbeumo.
After scoring 20 goals and 7 assists/38 matches for the bees last season, Mbuemo attracted the attention of some leading clubs, including Arsenal. And now, MU seems to face a more fierce competition from top rivals in the Premier League, including Newcastle and Aston Villa. In addition, Brentford has no intention of releasing this striker for less than £ 70 million.
According to the British press, coach Ruben Amorim is “disappointed” because MU does not recruit any more players, except for the appearance of Mathues Cunha from Wolves.
