Mbeumo has been a key player for Brentford, making 242 appearances and scoring 70 goals with 51 assists. He has established himself as one of the most skilled and underrated attackers in the Premier League. Manchester United had previously made a bid for Mbeumo worth £45m plus £5m in add-ons, but they were unsuccessful.

Tottenham are now reportedly preparing a bid of around £60m to secure Mbeumo's signature. This move could potentially hinder Manchester United's chances of signing the forward, as they may not be willing to meet Brentford's valuation. Additionally, Mbeumo may be swayed by the opportunity to play in the Champions League, which Tottenham secured by beating United in the Europa League final.

Manchester United has recently signed Wolves striker Matheus Cunha in an attempt to improve their attack, but it remains to be seen whether this move will be enough to secure their place in the top flight.
