Manchester United Increases Bid for Mbeumo as Player Prefers Tottenham Move

Manchester United has reportedly made an improved bid for Bryan Mbeumo as the player seems to be shifting towards a potential move to Tottenham Hotspur. The initial bid of £45 million plus £10 million in add-ons from United was turned down by Brentford earlier in June. The London club is holding out for a fee closer to £70 million for the 25-year-old forward.

With Thomas Frank, the former Brentford manager, now at the helm of Tottenham, the North London club has entered the race for Mbeumo, who netted 20 goals in the Premier League last season. According to journalist Duncan Castles, United has upped their bid to over £60 million in an attempt to secure Mbeumo's transfer swiftly.

Although it remains uncertain how Brentford will react to this latest offer, sources suggest that the club is determined to stick to their £70 million valuation for the player. Tottenham, Newcastle, and Aston Villa have all shown interest in Mbeumo, prompting United to move quickly to outmaneuver their competitors for his signature.

Initially believed to prefer a move to Manchester United, Mbeumo is now reportedly considering Tottenham as a more appealing option. Following Spurs' victory over United in the Europa League final, Mbeumo could be enticed by the prospect of Champions League football and reuniting with his former manager, Thomas Frank.

As the transfer saga unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the situation develops and whether Mbeumo ultimately secures a move to Tottenham over Manchester United or other interested clubs.
