Manchester United's top transfer target has reportedly expressed frustration at the delay in completing the transfer.
Bryan Mbeumo is growing ‘frustrated’ with the prolonged delay in his potential transfer to Manchester United, according to a member of Cameroon’s coaching staff.
Manchester United are in advanced negotiations to sign the 25-year-old forward but have yet to reach an agreement with Brentford, who are demanding a £65 million fee.

Despite interest from Tottenham, now led by Mbeumo’s former Brentford manager Thomas Frank, it’s understood that Mbeumo has already agreed personal terms with United.
The Red Devils have had multiple bids turned down by Brentford this summer but remain optimistic about securing the services of the forward, who netted 20 goals in the Premier League last season.
Cameroon’s assistant coach, Ashu Cyprian Besong, revealed he discussed the potential move with Mbeumo and confirmed the player has expressed his desire to join Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United.
“Yes, obviously he’s very frustrated with how long it’s taken. But he’s a professional and anticipates these things,” Besong told Telecom Asia.
“I spoke to him about a week ago, and he is very calm with everything that is going on. But of course, he’s already told them he wants to go to United.
"He just wanted the two clubs to find an agreement, as he’s very grateful for the opportunity that he’s been given by Brentford in his career.”
