Manchester United make improved £60m bid for striker Mbeumo

London, June 24 (UNI) Manchester United have submitted an improved bid of more than £60m for Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo.
This month United had a bid rejected for the 25-year-old of £45m plus up to £10m in add-ons.
Talks over the Cameroon forward, who would become the club's second signing of the summer, are due to continue this week.
Following the £62.5m capture of Matheus Cunha from Wolves, United are keen to further strengthen Ruben Amorim's squad before they return for pre-season training on 7 July.
New Tottenham manager Thomas Frank was keen to be reunited with Mbeumo, while there has also been interest in the forward from other Champions League clubs.
Sources have suggested Brentford would want at least the same fee as Wolves have received for Cunha before they agree to the sale of a player who still has a year left on his contract, according
to a BBC news.
As with Cunha, Mbeumo's Premier League experience is viewed as a major positive as Amorim needs players who can hit the ground running as United look to make a more positive start to the season than their three sluggish efforts under Erik ten Hag.
Mbeumo scored a career-best 20 goals for Brentford last season, while he also contributed nine assists to the Bees' cause.
An international colleague of United goalkeeper Andre Onana, Mbeumo is likely to miss four weeks of the 2025-26 campaign because of Cameroon's participation in the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Cameroon play Gabon in their opening group game on December 24.
The renewed move for Mbeumo comes as the future of Alejandro Garnacho is once again the subject of intense debate after he posted an image of himself wearing an Aston Villa shirt with the name 'Rashford' on his social media channels.
Fellow United outcast Marcus Rashford responded to the post with a 'my brother' message to the Argentina forward, who has been valued at £60m after being told by Amorim to find another club
this summer.
