Brentford stand firm on Bryan Mbeumo price tag with Man Utd edging closer to signing 20-goal star
BRENTFORD are demanding Manchester United cough up £65million for Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils saw their second bid of £55m before add-ons of £7.5m knocked back on Friday, but remain confident of striking a deal. 3 United had already seen an opening bid of £45m rejected. Brentford are now holding out for a total package of £65m, meaning there is only a small gap in valuations at this point. As SunSport revealed earlier this month, Mbeumo's preference has always been a move to Old Trafford. That is despite departed Bees boss Thomas Frank wanting to take the Cameroon international to Tottenham. United have already spent £62.5m on Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha, who joined from Wolves as their first signing of a crucial summer. Talks are now continuing between United and Brentford over Mbeumo 's move, a deal which would smash the Bees club record sale. Ivan Toney 's £40m move to Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia last summer is the biggest sale in the club's history. Mbeumo's departure will be yet another challenge for new Bees boss Keith Andrews. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS Andrews, 44, was appointed as Frank's successor on Friday, promoted from set-piece coach to head coach. As well as stepping into Frank's shoes, the former Republic of Ireland international will have to deal with the departure of the top scorer and captain. While Mbeumo is dreaming of Old Trafford, skipper Christian Norgaard is joining Arsenal in a surprise £9.3m deal. Mbeumo's goals will be missed next season as he notched 20 times in the Premier League last term. His record put him as one of the most prolific players in the division. Only Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland outscored him. The last time a United player reached at least 20 goals in a Premier League campaign was Robin van Persie. The Dutchman scored 26 times to help Sir Alex Ferguson win the 2012/13 in his final season in charge of the club. Mbeumo made the switch to England in 2019 when he joined Brentford from French outfit Troyes. He cost the Bees a then-record transfer fee of £5.8m as he helped the club reach the Premier League in his second season. In total, he has made 242 appearances for the club and scored 70 goals and provided 51 assists in all competitions. Norgaard, meanwhile, also arrived at Brentford in 2019 as he joined from Fiorentina. The 31-year-old has been ever-present in the club's midfield and is one of the most reliable members of the team. The Dane will face an awkward reunion with Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli once he completes the move. The Brazilian accused Norgaard of trying to break his leg during the Bees' visit to North London back in April. 3

Tyson Fury's true feelings on retirement revealed following conversations with WBC president
Tyson Fury insists he's retired... but that doesn't mean he's at peace. The Gypsy King has kept up regular contact with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman since hanging up his gloves for the fourth time following his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in December last year. And while Fury is adamant he's done with boxing, it's clear the decision in that rematch — when all three judges called the fight 116-112 to Usyk — still stings. Sulaiman told Sky Sports this week: 'I call him regularly and he said: "Oh I'm so happy, retired, I'm here with my wife." 'He didn't hint whatsoever that he was planning on coming back. 'He told me he was not happy with the decision in the second fight with Usyk. He's still very bitter about the judges' scoring and he was very upset but he was retired, that's what he said.' It's a glimpse into the mindset of a fighter who has danced with retirement almost as often as he has with his rivals in the ring. Fury may claim he is content to be out of the sport, but the frustration of that unanimous points loss is a reminder that the fire still burns. Even Sulaiman can't rule out a comeback, adding: 'Maybe like in The Godfather, the movie, maybe we'll hear him say: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" We don't know…' Despite Fury's insistence that he is retired, the heavyweight division continues to buzz with speculation about another comeback. In April, Fury linked back up with trainer SugarHill Steward in the gym, filming himself and teasing: 'You know what's coming.' He has also revealed he's been enjoying twice-daily training sessions and sharing his love of working out on social media. With Anthony Joshua still waiting for that long-awaited 'Battle of Britain' clash, promoter Eddie Hearn recently admitted the ball was firmly in Fury's court. 'The way that fight gets made is probably Tyson reaches out to AJ and says, "Mate, do you fancy it?" And he'll go, "100 per cent, let's f***ing do it," Hearn said.
