**Manchester United have had an improved bid worth up to £62.5m for Bryan Mbeumo rejected by Brentford.**

United have bid £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons for the 25-year-old.

They had a bid of £45m plus up to £10m in add-ons for the Cameroon forward turned down earlier this month.

United are looking to add goals to their side having already signed forward [Matheus Cunha from Wolves for £62.5m.](/sport/football/articles/clyr869q022o)

Sources have suggested Brentford would want at least the same fee as Wolves have received for Cunha before they agree to the sale of a player who still has a year left on his contract.

Mbeumo scored a career-best 20 goals for Brentford last season and contributed nine assists.
