- Manchester United's initial £45m bid for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, with a further £10m in add-ons, has been rejected.
- Brentford values Mbeumo at over £60m and may extend his contract by an additional year to retain him.
- Thomas Frank has acknowledged that Mbeumo's sale is possible but would be "expensive".
- Mbeumo is attractive to United due to his Premier League experience, versatility across the forward line, and strong fitness record.
- Manchester United aims to bolster their attacking options following the expected departures of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony and are also targeting a goalkeeper, wing-back, and midfielder.
