Manchester United has set their sights on Bryan Mbeumo and are ready to approach Brentford for conversations in an attempt to make the Cameroon star their second summer signature
It is said of Bryan Mbeumo that he has told Manchester United that he more than quadruples his wages to £ 250,000 a week if he wants to move to Old Trafford this summer.
The Cameroon Star, 25, has been identified by United as their next priority study after closing a deal for Matheus Cunha van Wolves. And despite interest from elsewhere in the form of Arsenal and Newcastle, Mbeumo has indicated that his preference would be to become a member of the Red Devils.
Mbeumo comes from the back of a striking season for Brentford after breaking the 20 target barrier in the Premier League for the first time.
United will approach Brentford in particular to try to set out a deal for the versatile attacker, which is appreciated by the Londoners of more than £ 60 million. But Mbeumo's desire for a considerable salary increase means that the total package of a deal for the bees Talisman will not be cheap.
As revealed for the first time by The Times, Mbeumo currently earns £ 50,000 a week in Brentford; He wants to enlarge that five times if he moves to Old Trafford.
If United would agree to the aforementioned requirements, they would immediately become one of the highest earners of the club during a transfer window where the Red Devils want to discharge two of their most paid players in Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.
Mbeumo is located in the last year of his deal in West and although the club has an option, there is an acceptance at Brentford that he will probably continue after another fantastic season in red and white.
Just like Cunha, Mbeumo would arrive in United as an oven ready to add the besieged team of Ruben Amorim, since he is an established Premier League player. United ended last year in the competition in the competition and as such plan to make a big overhaul of Squadron.

The goal of Mbeumo last season was one of the best in the competition with only Mo Salah, Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak who improved his 20 strikes. To bring those proceeds into context, Bruno Fernandes and Amad were the scorers of the Joint Top in the Premier League last season with eight goals in the Premier League.
While Brentford is open this summer to cashing in Mbeumo, Thomas Frank, the head coach of the bees, has already emphasized that their star attacker will not leave cheaply.
“It is clear that if he is sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount,” Frank said recently. “It's a lot. Mucho. Really a lot. How many Wingers score 20 goals for a middle table club? And then with seven assists plus his work ethics. And his character. All these things mean that he has a lot, so he is a good player.”
