Brian Mbeumo is inching closer to a potential move to "Manchester United" as the Premier League giants have upped their bid for the Brentford forward to £60 million. The 25-year-old Frenchman has caught the eye of United's hierarchy, who previously offered £55 million for his services.
"I've always wanted to test myself at the highest level, and Manchester United represents that opportunity," a source close to Mbeumo suggests regarding the player's mindset.
The "Red Devils" seem determined to secure Mbeumo's signature after his impressive 2023/24 campaign with "Brentford", where he netted 20 goals across 47 appearances in all competitions. That's quite a return for a player who's often been overshadowed by some of the league's more high-profile forwards.
Interestingly, Mbeumo himself is reportedly keen on making the switch to Old Trafford, which could potentially ease negotiations between the two clubs.
By the way, this potential acquisition comes shortly after "Manchester United" completed the signing of Matheus Cunha from "Wolverhampton", signaling the club's intent to strengthen their attacking options significantly this transfer window.
Could Mbeumo be the missing piece in United's attacking puzzle? The Frenchman's versatility and eye for goal certainly make him an attractive proposition for a team looking to climb back up the Premier League table.
