The pursuit of MU's Bryan Mbeumo continued to encounter obstacles when Brentford rejected the second offer worth £ 62.5 million from the Red Devils. However, this striker continued to affirm that he only wanted to join the Old Trafford team.
According to a source from Sky Sports, MU raised the price to £ 62.5 million after the first offer worth £ 55 million was rejected last week. Although the proposal was significantly improved compared to the previous time, the West London team was still determined to hold the stance, only accepting to sit at the negotiating table if they received the sufficient price of £ 70 million as they wanted.
Meanwhile, Goal confirmed that the Cameroon player made it clear to the Brentford leadership that he wanted to move to MU, despite the attention from other teams, including Tottenham.
Notably, Mbeumo refused to join Spurs, and asked the representative not to negotiate with any club other than Man United. He believes in the development plan under coach Ruben Amorim and sees MU as an ideal step forward in his career.
Mbeumo is considered to be Amorim's top goal in an effort to increase the attack, especially in the context of the future of Antony, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford are all unstable. The 25 -year -old striker impressed the Premier League last season with 20 goals and 8 assists after 38 appearances.
With Mbeumo just wanting to go to MU, the pressure is on the Brentford. If the situation is prolonged, they may fall into a passive position, especially when the player has openly intended to leave. For his part, Man United is said to still return to the third proposal in the next few days, but not sure if they accept £ 70 million or will try to negotiate discounts.
The MBEumo deal can be one of the hottest spots of the summer transfer window 2025, reflecting the fierce but wise approach of MU in the Ruben Amorim era: only buying a really suitable player, has a clear desire and commitment.
