Man Utd make improved £60m bid for striker Mbeumo

 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 July 7.

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. -BBC
