The pursuit of Manchester United to sign Bryan Mbeumo was stopped by Brentford who appoints Keith Andrews as their new boss with the bees who remain at their appreciation of the player
Manchester United felt that they were approaching Bryan Mbeumo's signing – that was before Brentford's appointment of Keith Andrews threw a key in the works with progress stuck.
The Red Devils have seen various bids for the Cameroon Forward, the latter was £ 60 million, with the bees being robustly attaching to their appreciation. The two parties remain millions apart in their respective figures and the change in the Dugout did not help.
Andrews is another internal rent in Brentford and replaces Thomas Frank. The new Tottenham -Baas was supposed to be enthusiastic about Mbeumo, but the North Londers now seem to have gone in a different direction.
It leaves United with a free shot at the Brentford star, who wants the move themselves, but they have difficulty agreeing on a fee. The men also understand that the arrival of Andrews as the new head coach has further complicated things with the Irishman who wants to keep his top players.
Mbeumo scored 20 times previous term and has emerged as the most important attacking weapon of the club and stepped impressively after the departure of Ivan Toney.
United had wanted to get Mbeumo through the door before the start of their preseason, because they originally started negotiations for the 25-year-old weeks ago. That has not been the case, but if they can attack a deal, he could still join their tour through the United States.
Brentford's director Football Phil Giles has maintained that the club will not do business unless it makes sense to them and has opened the door for the possibility that Mbeumo will stay in West London for the foreseeable. Leaving to the equipment of Manchester to submit the required figure.
He said: “We made our point clear. If Bryan would earn a huge move now and it was financially good for us, we would be open for it. But if he ended up here next season, I would not be enormously surprised. We would be happy. And it would save me a huge headache, to be honest.”
Mbeumo itself is to greatly increase his wage package if he secures a move to Manchester, which can still be on the cards. The bees have focused on another attacker in Ipswich's Omari Hutchinson, who could serve as the man to replace Mbeumo if he leaves.
