Man Utd see second bid for Bryan Mbeumo rejected in fresh transfer saga twist
Manchester United submitted a second improved offer of £55million plus a further £7.5m in add-ons on Monday for Bryan Mbeumo, but have seen the offer for the forward rejected Manchester United's attempts to sign Bryan Mbeumo have suffered a blow after Brentford rejected their second offer for the forward. United want to add Mbeumo to their squad after landing Matheus Cunha, but negotiations have been far from straightforward. Cunha joined United for £62.5million from Wolves earlier in June and the club quickly identified Mbeumo as the second player they wanted for their new-look attack. The Cameroon international scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season and has attracted interest from United, Tottenham, Newcastle and Arsenal. Mbeumo has his heart set on moving to Old Trafford and has told Brentford and his former manager, Thomas Frank, that he won't be joining him at Tottenham. Yet Ruben Amorim is still waiting to land the 25-year-old right winger, with the Bees playing hard ball. The Athletic says that United's improved bid of £55m and £7.5m of bonuses, which was submitted on Monday, has been rejected by Brentford. It followed an opening offer of £45m plus £10m. Brentford, naturally, want the bulk of the fee paid up front, while United would prefer to spread out the cost. While Tottenham made their interest known, they never submitted an official offer for Mbeumo. And the north London club are understood to have moved on after Mbeumo informed Frank personally of his preference to join United. United will continue negotiations with Brentford over Mbeumo and are still confident of getting a deal done. That confidence is based on the player's wishes and the fact that they don't need to sell their unwanted players to fund the move. HAVE YOUR SAY! Is Bryan Mbeumo the right player for Manchester United? Comment below. They are understood to be willing to offer Mbeumo between £150,000-£175,000-a-week, with bonuses taking that expected package to £200,000-a-week. He is under contract with the Bees until June 2026, but the club also have the option to extend it by a further 12 months. Mbeumo has been with Brentford since 2019, when he joined for £5.8m from French side Troyes. He has contributed 70 goals and 51 assists in 242 appearances for the club altogether and looks set to follow in the footsteps of Ivan Toney is leaving west London. Brentford have already banked £10m from Spurs in compensation for Frank and are braced for a summer of upheaval. They announced the appointment of Keith Andrews as Frank's replacement on Friday, but look set to lose Mbeumo and captain Christian Norgaard, who is the subject of a £9.3m bid from Arsenal. United are rebuilding their squad under Amorim and are attempting to sell Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho, among others. Rashford has his heart set on Barcelona, Garnacho has been linked with Chelsea and Napoli and Sancho has reportedly agreed to join Fenerbahce.

'A rarity and a risk - but it's exciting'
Matthew Upson, who played with new Brentford boss Keith Andrews at Brighton in 2013-14 - and under him when the Irishman began his coaching career at MK Dons in 2015 - says he understands why the Bees have promoted him to head told BBC Sport: "An appointment like this is a rarity and a risk - but it's exciting. It's got everyone talking about it."It's a real acceleration of Keith's career, but I know him well and I can understand why he has got this opportunity."Following on from Thomas Frank, there is probably going to be a point where the team is going to have a wobble, a dip or a drop-off in results."What happens then is going to be interesting, and it comes down to what the expectations are for Keith, really."Even Frank has had wobbles in the past, when the team went through really bad spells. It also looks like Bryan Mbeumo is going to go, which is a blow."It is a really interesting appointment but, having played with Keith and seen him as a coach - very much in his early days - I can see why he has got this chance."As well having good opinions, he is an impressive communicator in how he gets his ideas across. That is a very strong skill that he has, which will help him as a manager."If you can get the players on board with you, that is half the battle."Read more about Andrews' rise to Brentford job
