Manchester United have submitted an improved offer to Brentford totalling in excess of £60million ($81.1m) for Bryan Mbeumo.
The Athletic reported Mbeumo wants to join United, who tabled a proposal of £45m plus £10m in add-ons to Brentford for the Cameroon international on June 4.
The 25-year-old is entering the final year of his contract at the west London club, who do have the option to extend his stay by a further 12 months.

Mbeumo, who joined Brentford from French side Troyes in 2019, scored 20 goals and provided eight assists as Brentford finished 10th in the Premier League.
United have already completed the signing of Brazil international Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, as head coach Ruben Amorim seeks to strengthen his attacking options ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
Mbeumo a good fit for Amorim
Analysis by Carl Anka
Bryan Mbeumo is a good player and should fit whatever style of football Ruben Amorim wants to play next season at Manchester United.
The 25-year-old scored 20 goals and provided eight assists for Brentford last season, establishing himself as one of the better forwards in the Premier League.
He is versatile and efficient in front of goal. Give him the ball and he’ll look to get things done.
Mbeumo has developed from a promising youngster in the Championship into a forward capable of taking on Champions League defences. The Cameroon international has been deployed in several roles at Brentford, impressing as a right winger in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 setup (playing off Ivan Toney), and thriving as a striker in a 3-5-2 alongside Yoane Wissa.
He is direct. Naturally left-footed, but not shy about using his right, he excels when driving into space. A look at his goals and assists from last season shows a player who has favoured areas in and around the penalty area, and knows how to get to them consistently.
His versatility is alluring but Mbeumo’s best fit would be as the right-sided No 10 in Amorim’s 3-4-3.
A look at Mbeumo’s progressive carries from 2024-25 shows a left-footed player equally capable of cutting inside or getting chalk on his boots on the outside. If he were to join Amorim’s side, he would help provide additional angles of attack, making the team less one-dimensional in the final third.
This is a Premier League-proven attacking player who wouldn’t require the same onboarding process that may come with alternative transfer targets.
