Bryan Mbeumo transfer news: Man Utd relaxed about pursuit of in-demand Brentford forward despite Tottenham Hotspur interest | Football News
Manchester United are relaxed about their pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo despite being aware of Tottenham’s interest in the Brentford forward.
Sky Sports News revealed last Friday that Spurs had held initial talks with Brentford for the 25-year-old.
Mbeumo is understood to be intrigued by Spurs, who have just appointed his former boss Thomas Frank, but one source has told Sky Sports News that as it stands he is leaning towards United.
United are expected to go back in with another offer for Mbeumo after having their initial bid worth up to £55m rejected. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham will follow up their initial talks or move on to Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo.
Brentford value Mbeumo, who effectively has two years left on his deal, at more than £60m and are willing to listen to offers.
United have other targets in Mbeumo’s position, including Semenyo, and have their own values in mind for both players.
