Man United table new £60 million bid for Brentford star Bryan Mbuemo
Having seen an initial offer for Brentford forward, Bryan Mbuemo rebuffed earlier this month, Man United has this week tabled a new improved offer for the Cameroonian international, to the tune of £60 million.
United, who have already splashed the cash this summer, signed Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha from Premier League rivals, Wolves, with a deal for the impressive left-sided forward reportedly in the region of £62.5 million.
But earlier this month, falling short in their valuation of Mbuemo — to the tune of £45 million plus a further £10 million in performance-related add-ons — with Brentford turning down the offer.
Man United huge betting favorites to sign Bryan Mbuemo
Currently priced as significant -1,000 betting favorites to eek out a deal to sign Bryan Mbuemo this summer, fans betting in the US can still find some interesting odds and markets on Man United’s other transfer targets.
As per a report from The Athletic this week, United’s £60 million improved offer for Mbuemo has been officially tabled, with the former Troyes forward keen on a move to Old Trafford later this summer.
Enjoying a stunning breakout season for the London club last time around, Mbuemo scored an impressive 20 goals in the Premier League for ‘The Bees’, and laid on an impressive eight assists. With his performances up and down the country, Bryan Mbuemo also received a nomination for Premier League Player of the Season.
Usually deployed on the right-hand side of an attacking outlet, the addition of Bryan Mbuemo alongside new signing Cunha would offer Man United some massive firepower in that final quarter, with Bruno Fernandes expected to fit into a deeper role in the midfield under Ruben Amorim next season.
The signing of Cunha and potentially Bryan Mbuemo before July would see United bring both forwards with them on their pre-season tour of the United States at the beginning of July.
Expected to also listen to offers for Danish striker, Rasmus Hojlund, the former Atlanta forward has been linked heavily with a move to Serie A rivals, Inter Milan in recent weeks, with his representatives reportedly holding talks with the San Siro brass this week.
In terms of attacking options and other targets this summer, United have received a slew of links to a number of out-and-out strikers.
Namely, the Old Trafford club are reportedly weighing up a deal to sign Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, with the Serbian international reportedly available for as little as £25 million in a cut-price deal.
Expected to skirt their reported interest in Sporting Lisbon forward, Viktor Gyokeres, following a litany of links throughout the season, United are expected to offload a high number of talents deemed surplus to requirements in order to fund further incomings.
Namely, the likes of Antony, Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and most notably, Alejandro Garnacho are all expected to leave Man United during this summer transfer window.
Other potential incomings at United come in between the sticks. Earlier this month, reports detailed how while Cameroonian goalkeeper, Andre Onana, was hopeful of remaining and the club this summer, French side, AS Monaco, were exploring a potential deal.
In a bid to potentially replace the former Ajax shot stopper, United have reportedly also discussed a potential deal to sign FIFA World Cup winner, Emi Martinez, from Aston Villa — having held talks with his representatives.
