Why Man United are 'confident' of beating Tottenham to £60m Bryan Mbeumo - despite star talking up Thomas Frank's influence on him in F1 grid walk interview

Man United reportedly remain 'confident' of signing £60million-rated Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo this summer, despite Tottenham's interest following the appointment of Thomas Frank as head coach.

Mail Sport reported last week that Brentford had rejected a bid from the Red Devils for Mbeumo.

Man United face increased competition for the winger after Tottenham opened talks with the Bees last week.

Tottenham's attempts to hijack a deal came after the appointment of Frank as their new head coach on a three-year deal.

The Dane had brought a teenage Mbeumo to Brentford from Troyes and over time nurtured him into one of the most exciting attacking talents in the Premier League.
