Revealed: Tottenham's stance on Man United target Bryan Mbeumo with Brentford boss Thomas Frank nearing move to north London

Man United are continuing talks for Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo after last week's opening offer of £55million was rejected.

The Red Devils were dealt a blow last weekend when reports emerged that Tottenham were entering the race for the 25-year-old.

Mbeumo is seen as a key target for United, who are looking to improve their lacklustre squad after a dreadful campaign. The Red Devils scored just 44 goals in the Premier League, the second lowest of any non-relegated side.

Since joining for a £5.8m transfer fee, Mbeumo has scored 70 goals in 242 games for Brentford, including 42 in 136 Premier League matches — exactly the kind of firepower Ruben Amorim's side are after.
