Manchester United have âpresented an offerâ to Brentford of ÂŁ55m to sign star forward Bryan Mbeumo this summer.Ruben Amorim is desperate to add to his ranks at Old Trafford with the Red Devils currently sitting 16th in the table having lost 18 games in a dire domestic campaign.Europa League final victory over Tottenham on Wednesday would add some gloss to the season and also grant them entry into the Champions League, to provide a huge boost in their bid to attract and afford new players.The Red Devils are set to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves having agreed to trigger his ÂŁ65m release clause, while teenage striker Enzo Kana-Biyik will join from Le Havre as they battle Chelsea for the ÂŁ30m signing of Liam Delap from Ipswich.Theyâve also been linked, along with Liverpool, with Mbeumo, who took his goals tally to 19 for the season on Sunday in the 3-2 defeat to Fulham.Earlier this month the Daily Telegraph reported that Brentford winger Mbeumo is now a âtargetâ for Man Utd âas well asâ Wolves Cunha as they look to overhaul their front line.The Brentford man is âhigh on list of potential targets as Amorim looks to bolster squadâ and Man Utd are âready to join the raceâ for Mbeumo âwhen competition for the Brentford forward intensifies during the summer transfer windowâ.The report added:âWolves striker Matheus Cunha, who has a ÂŁ65 million buyout clause, is a target for United in the summer but has been most effective through the middle as a No 9.âInterest in Mbeumo is independent of the Cunha deal, with the former Troyes forward regarded as one of the best wide forwards in the Premier League.âMORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365âŠđ Arsenal, Man Utd target Gyokeres speaks out on next club after 39th goal leads Sporting to titleđ Man Utd: Romano confirms âclear favouritesâ for ÂŁ62.5m PL star amid âlateâ Arsenal hijack attemptđ Roy Keane makes Europa League final prediction as one factor âmight edgeâ Man Utd vs TottenhamFabrizio Romano was less sure of how serious the Red Devilsâ interest in Mbeumo is with âmany clubsâ looking to tie up a deal to sign the Brentford forward in the summer transfer window.Romano wrote in his GiveMeSport newsletter: âAs far as I know, the main target remains Cunha.
For Mbeumo there will be many clubs involved, so itâs an open race.âBut Spanish outlet Fichajes now claim that United havenât even waited for the summer to make their approach, claiming theyâve âpresented an offer of close to âŹ65m (ÂŁ55m) for Mbeumoâ.That news comes after manager Thomas Frank recently admitted that Brentford are a âselling clubâ but that he wants to keep Mbeumo and his other top stars âforeverâ.Frank said: âIâm the head coach, I want my best players to stay forever.
I know that Bryan is very happy being here at Brentford, heâs thriving, doing well and playing fantastic.
What happens in the future? I donât know.
Iâve said many times: we are a selling club.âBut at the same time we have to reinforce that there are 10 clubs in the world who arenât selling clubs.
So, of course, if the right price â and thatâs going to be expensive â is coming, then Iâm sure the club will be open for it.
But Iâm very happy heâs here, and Iâm convinced that Bryan will still be happy playing football here.â
