Manchester United Makes Improved £60m Bid for Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford

Manchester United have made a new offer to Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo, a 25-year-old Cameroon international who is likely to depart after a successful season with 20 goals. The initial bid of £55m was turned down, but the improved package now exceeds £60m with add-ons. Tottenham Hotspur is also interested due to their connection with Mbeumo's former manager, Thomas Frank, but they have not made a formal bid yet. Personal terms are expected to be smooth, with Mbeumo set to triple his current salary. Mbeumo spoke about the transfer rumors during the Canadian Grand Prix, expressing gratitude for his best Premier League season and praising Frank's impact on his career.

Manchester United is confident in their pursuit of Mbeumo, although Spurs, with Frank and Champions League football, pose a challenge. Mbeumo commended Frank's coaching abilities and expressed optimism for his future. ExpressVPN is offering a 4-month free trial with servers in 105 countries, supporting journalism at The Independent.
