Manchester United has made a second bid of £60m for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, after their initial offer of £45m plus £10m in add-ons was rejected.
Bryan Mbeumo has indicated his desire to join Manchester United, despite interest from other clubs including Newcastle and Tottenham.
Brentford is seeking a transfer fee for Mbeumo similar to the £62.5m United paid for Matheus Cunha, noting Mbeumo's 20 Premier League goals last season.
United aims to strengthen its attack, having scored only 44 league goals last season, and may fund the transfer by selling players such as Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Jadon Sancho.
Tottenham, now managed by Mbeumo's former coach Thomas Frank and having secured Champions League football, is also a strong contender for the Cameroon international.
