Manchester United make ‘improved offer’ of £65m plus add-ons for Bryan Mbeumo in bid to break transfer stalemate with Brentford

<p>United have submitted a third offer worth £65m plus £5m in add-ons for Brentford forward Mbeumo, report <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6456945/2025/07/17/manchester-united-bryan-mbeumo-bid/" target="_blank"><em>The Athletic</em></a>. The Cameroon international has been the subject of intense transfer interest from the Red Devils so far this summer and the saga has been plodding along slowly in recent weeks.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While it is not yet known if the Bees are likely to accept the offer, the fee cited aligns with the belief relayed in <em>The Athletic's</em> report that the west London club are hoping for an offer bigger than the £62.5m United paid Wolves for Matheus Cunha. Mbeumo was previously the subject of offers worth £55m and £62.5m including add-ons, both of which were swiftly rejected last month. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bryan-mbeumo-very-frustrated-delay-joining-man-utd-brentford-coach-offers-update-star-s-future/blt18a33b349c63f3c4" target="_blank">Delays to a deal have reportedly caused frustration for Mbeumo.</a></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Mbeumo joined Brentford for just £5.8m from Ligue 2 club Troyes in August 2019, immediately scoring 16 goals and earning a nomination for the EFL Player and Young Player of the Year awards in his first season. Five years on, Mbeumo eclipsed that goalscoring tally for the first time as he struck 20 top-flight goals to earn a nomination for Premier League Player of the Season.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The belief is that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bryan-mbeumo-manchester-united-brentford-spurs-ruben-amorim/bltb0b3939ce07705cd" target="_blank">Mbeumo wants to join United</a> and the club will be hopeful of getting a deal done, dependent on whether Brentford continue to push up the price. Ruben Amorim aims to have the 25-year-old lining up alongside Cunha by the time their Premier League campaign kicks off, though he hopes to have a deal completed <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-transfer-deadline-ruben-amorim-bryan-mbeumo-deal-pre-season/blt3804e543255955a1" target="_blank">before the Red Devils' pre-season tour begins on July 22.</a></p>
