The transfer saga of Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United has been the hottest topic around Old Trafford for more than a month.
Despite making the Brentford star the number one target, Ineos have shown no urgency in completing a deal to sign.
It has been over one month since Manchester United’s first bid for Bryan Mbeumo was rejected by Brentford. Since then, United have had a second offer rejected
Mbeumo has made United his dream destination this summer, and he has therefore been waiting patiently for Ineos to agree on a fee with the Bees.
While waiting to join United, the Cameroonian international has been busy. Mbeumo has not joined Brentford’s pre-season, and he remains in the USA on holiday.
Now, Mbeumo’s stance has been revealed.

Ashu Cyprian Besong reveals how Bryan Mbeumo is feeling about Manchester United transfer
While negotiations always take time, this move to sign Bryan Mbeumo is getting slightly ridiculous due to how long it is taking.
Mbeumo will be desperate to join his new team and start training under Ruben Amorim, with key work currently being done in preparation for the new season.
However, speaking to Telecom Asia, Cameroon assistant coach Ashu Cyprian Besong has revealed how Mbeumo is feeling about the transfer and the length of time it has taken.

“Yes, obviously, he’s very frustrated with how long it’s taken. But he’s a professional and anticipates these things.
“I spoke to him about a week ago, and he is very calm with everything that is going on. But of course, he’s already told them he wants to go to United.
“He just wanted the two clubs to find an agreement, as he’s very grateful for the opportunity that he’s been given by Brentford in his career.”
Mbeumo will have to wait a little bit longer for Manchester United move
Despite no deal being struck, it is assumed that Mbeumo to United remains firmly on the cards and close to being completed.
United in Focus understands that United want Mbeumo signed in time to head on the US tour in just under a fortnight.
A move might not take that long, but that is the new deadline that the club is working towards with a £65m deal expected to be close, as minor details remain.
United need to complete the Mbeumo deal with the lack of incomings and sales, concerning, and in a way, betraying Amorim’s faith in Ineos.
By the time the tour starts, United need more than just Mbeumo added, and there is still time. But the club needs to get a move on.
