Manchester United are exploring a surprise summer move for Brentford forward Yoane Wissa, according to CaughtOffside.
The Red Devils are reportedly showing interest in the 28-year-old Congolese attacker and are among several Premier League clubs keeping tabs on his developing situation.
Wissa has just a year left on his contract with Brentford and could explore an exit in the coming weeks, with Tottenham, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest among his admirers.
Forest were the first to step up their interest and have submitted an offer worth less than £25m, which is considerably below Brentford’s reported £50m valuation.

Man United have long been linked with a move for Wissa’s teammate Bryan Mbeumo, but now appear to have also earmarked the Congolese international as an attractive market option.
Wissa enjoyed a career-best 2024/25 season, scoring 19 goals and providing five assists in 35 Premier League appearances.
He also outscored both Man United strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combined by more than double, as the pair managed just seven league goals between them last season.
Brentford are said to be ‘extremely reluctant’ to lose both Mbeumo and Wissa in the same window – if one goes, there is a strong chance the other could stay.
Man United announced Matheus Cunha as their first summer signing last month and remain focused on rebuilding Ruben Amorim’s frontline.
The Red Devils are also expected to bring in a new number nine this summer, with Aston Villa star Ollie Watkins also among their potential targets.
