Man United bid rejected
Manchester United have submitted their first official bid for Brentford striker Mbeumo, according to The Athletic.
The offer, worth £45 million plus £10 million in add-ons, has been rejected by the Bees, but talks between the two clubs are ongoing and considered positive.
Sources indicate that Brentford are seeking approximately £50 million guaranteed, plus additional bonuses.
They are reportedly using the fee United paid Wolves for Matheus Cunha as a benchmark for their valuation of Mbemo.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirms that Manchester United are eager to accelerate negotiations with Brentford and finalize the deal swiftly.
United are determined to avoid the mistakes of previous summer transfer windows, when crucial deals were often concluded late in August after the Premier League season had already begun.
