Manchester United finally completed a sensational move for Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford earlier this month and it seems that the Red Devils are ready to give the bees another blow
Manchester United strives to yawn Brentford in the race for Metz Wonderkid Idrissa Gueye after he had remained furious with the bees. The Red Devils have already spent heavily this summer to strengthen their front line.
The signing of £ 63 million from the former Wolves star Matheus Cunha was followed by the £ 71 million takeover of Bryan Mbeumo, who eventually completed a switch to Old Trafford after weeks of long -term negotiations.
And while United eventually managed to get their husbands, they did not remember the actions of their colleagues in Brentford. The Chiefs of Red Devils were left furious with Brentford's attempts to sell Mbeumo elsewhere, with Newcastle, Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal reportedly interested.
United has accused Brentford of convincing the attacker to lower his wage requirements, while they also thought that the bees increased their requirements as soon as a deal was close by.
And given the hostility between the two clubs at the current time, United has threatened to make things worse by moving for a Brentford target. According to The Sun, both parties go against each other to Metz Youngster Idrissa Gueye.
This summer, the teenager has emerged as an important target for Keith Andrews, who may be forced to match the asking price of the French side of £ 15 million for Gueye to combat the competition of United and Burnley. It is suggested that the London side would be willing to offer the Youngster Instant Premier League football, while United sees him as one for the future.
Gueye, 18, is a product of the Metz Academy and scored five goals in 17 Ligue 2 performances in the previous term. And he is now confronted with a decision about his future, although United will hope that he will go in the footsteps of Mbeumo, who was only interested in signing for the Red Devils.
“As soon as I knew there was a chance to become a member of Manchester United, I had to take the opportunity to draw for the club of my dreams – the team whose shirt I was wearing grow up,” he said.
