Man United launch first bid worth £55m for Bryan Mbeumo - after Brentford star picked Old Trafford over Premier League rivals this summer

Manchester United have made their first bid for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo.

The Red Devils have offered Brentford £55million. The structure is £45m plus a further £10m in add ons which is still short of Brentford's valuation.

Ruben Amorim is looking to bolster United's front line and Mbeumo is being targeted as the club's second signing of the summer, behind Matheus Cunha.

Mbeumo's contract expires next year, although Brentford have an option to extend it by a further 12 months.

The Cameroon international is keen to move to Old Trafford if a deal can be struck and talks remain ongoing.
