United have been interested in Brentford star Mbeumo since last summer and have renewed their interest in the 25-year-old on the back of his great Premier League campaign for the Bees.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 20-time Premier League champions made their first official bid earlier this week, a reported fee of £45 million with £10 million in add-ons. However, the Bees immediately turned down the offer but continued to remain in conversation with United. According to the Mirror, Manchester United are now working on an improved bid which will also be their "final offer" for Mbeumo. The Red Devils are willing to offer £55m, plus £5m in bonuses.
DID YOU KNOW?
Mbeumo scored a total of 20 goals in the Premier League in the 2024/25 season with Brentford, ending the campaign as the league's fourth top-scorer behind Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak.

WHAT NEXT FOR MBEUMO?
Manchester United will have to wait and see if Brentford are willing to accept their improved offer. If not, they may have to turn their attention to other targets.
