Manchester United have had a £45 million bid, plus £10 million in add-ons, rejected by Brentford for winger Bryan Mbeumo, with the West London club demanding £60 million or more for the Cameroon international.
Mbeumo, signed by Brentford for just £4 million, has seen his stock rise dramatically after a series of impressive Premier League performances. United remain keen, with sources indicating they see him as a crucial addition to resolve their ongoing goal-scoring issues.
While the Red Devils have sealed the signing of Matheus Cunha from Atlético Madrid, they are also monitoring Victor Gyökeres of Sporting Lisbon. The Swedish striker, who previously worked with some of United’s recruitment staff during his time in the Championship, is seen as a possible solution to their striking woes.
However, United’s lack of European football next season could complicate any move for Gyökeres, who is also attracting interest from Champions League clubs across Europe.
Rashford Valued at £40 Million?
In a surprising development, Marcus Rashford could be available for as little as £40 million, with growing speculation around his future at Old Trafford. Though no formal offers have been made, several top clubs are reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
Antony to Leverkusen?
United winger Antony could also be heading toward the exit door in a move that may be triggered by Florian Wirtz’s expected transfer to Liverpool. If Wirtz completes his move, Bayer Leverkusen will seek a direct replacement—and Antony could be the ideal candidate.
The Brazilian cost United £86 million but has struggled to justify his price tag since joining from Ajax. A reunion with Erik ten Hag, who has already signed him twice (once for Ajax, then for United), could be on the cards, marking a possible third signing by the same manager.
