One Manchester United star has played an important role in Bryan Mbuemo that prefer a move to Old Trafford, preferably at Tottenham.
United is said to remain 'confident' of the signing of £ 60 million rated Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo this summer, despite the importance of Tottenham after the appointment of Thomas Frank as head coach.
Mail Sport reported last week that Brentford had rejected a £ 55 million bid from the Red Devils for Mbeumo.
And they are confronted with increased competition for the winger after Tottenham opened conversations with the bees last week.
However, his preference remains united with one of his teammates of Cameroon who continued to encourage him to take the step.
That man is goalkeeper Andre Onana, who is expected to stay in the club despite a difficult campaign.
Tottenham's attempts to hijack a deal came after the appointment of Frank as their new head coach for a three -year -old deal.
De Dane had brought a teenager Mbeumo to Brentford from Troyes and fed him over time in one of the most exciting attacking talents in the Premier League.
Mbeumo offered a glowing assessment of Frank and his influence on him when he was on the F1 Gridwalk in the Canadian Grand Prix.
The attacker had trust that Frank will make a success at Tottenham, while he admitted that speculation about his own future was a 'new' situation for him.
“It's a bit new to me, I would say, I think it can be the life of a football player and you have to accept it,” Mbeumo told Sky Sports.
“He is [Frank] Done so much for me, he literally trusted me from the start.
“He also developed me as a person and a player. So I can only wish him the very best, and I am sure he will do well.
“He's really smart. He knows where he wants to bring the team, how he wants to play. I think he has been fantastic for Brentford.
'I think he will of course have some time to adapt. [Champions League] Games, more expectations, as you said, but I am sure he will do well.
“He knows how to talk to people, he knows how to build a group, and that's why we played so well.”
Despite Mbeumo's approval from Frank, Manchester Evening News reported that Man United remains sure that he is beating Tottenham for the signing of the Cameroon Star.
The report claims that the Red Devils believe that they can secure his signing with Mbeumo after he has told confiders that he only wants to become a member of Man United, despite the potential to reunite with Frank at Tottenham and Champions League football.
Since the accession of a transfer costs of £ 5.8 million, Mbeumo has scored 70 goals in 242 matches for Brentford, including 42 in 136 Premier League matches.
After the departure of Ivan Toney, Mbeumo flourished last summer, with the attacker enjoying his best Premier League campaign so far.
The 25-year-old scored 20 goals and provided eight assists in the top flight last season.
Mbeumo would offer Man United the much needed firepower after Ruben Amorim's side scored only 44 goals in the Premier League last season, the second lowest of a non-related side.
Man United has already signed Matheus Cunha from Wolves in a £ 62.5 million deal while they want to reform their attack.
