Man Utd make THIRD Bryan Mbeumo transfer bid after finally accepting Brentford demand
Manchester United have tabled a final take-it-or-leave-it offer worth up to £70million for Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo. United had previously failed with two bids for Mbeumo, but are hoping to make it third time lucky with their latest offer of £65m plus £5m in performance-related add-ons. Brentford have yet to respond to United's latest offer, but with the London club holding out for £70m for their star forward, a deal is now likely to be agreed. Mbeumo, 25, has already agreed personal terms with United, and has informed Brentford and other clubs that he doesn't want to move anywhere else, having rejected approaches from both Newcastle and Tottenham - now under ex-Bees head coach Thomas Frank. United boss Ruben Amorim wanted his summer signings on board before he and his squad fly to the US next week for their pre-season tour, with Matheus Cunha the only new arrival. But United's protracted pursuit of Mbeumo is set to end successfully with their latest and final offer, which is likely to see the 25-year-old finally join the Red Devils. United had an initial proposal of £45m plus £10m in add-ons rejected, while a follow-up offer of £55m plus £7.5m in bonuses was also rejected. Brentford have stood firm on their demands, wanting more than the £62.5m United paid Wolves to sign Matheus Cunha. The Bees have been steadfast in their belief that Mbeumo, having scored more than the Brazilian last term, and being younger, should cost more than United's new No.10, who was purchased via a release clause in his Wolves contract. United are confident their latest offer will be accepted and bring to an end the long-running saga of Mbeumo's future. If Brentford do accept United's latest bid, it remains to be seen if they are willing to let their two star forwards leave this summer, with Newcasle having targeted Yoane Wissa. Newcastle switched their attention to Wissa after cooling their interest in Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike, who prefers a move to Premier League champions Liverpool. Against that backdrop, Newcastle are now exploring a move for £30million-rated Wissa, who scored 19 Premier League goals last season. Nottingham Forest failed recently with a bid for Wissa and it remains to be seen if Newcastle can persuade Brentford to part company with him, particularly if Mbeumo is sold to United.

Nine players leaving Manchester United as Ruben Amorim transfer plans take shape
Manchester United are set to say goodbye to at least nine players after the close of play on Monday, with Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen both to depart Manchester United will bid farewell to at least nine players on Monday - with their contracts expiring. The Red Devils are currently navigating the summer transfer window as they gear up for the 2025/26 Premier League season. Matheus Cunha has already been snapped up by United, and negotiations are underway to bring Bryan Mbeumo to Old Trafford. It's yet to be seen who else United will pursue before the transfer window shuts on 1 September. However, when it comes to departures, at least nine players are certain to leave the club this summer. United have confirmed that Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Christian Eriksen will all exit the club when their contracts run out on 30 June, although Evans is in line to remain at United in a staff role. The trio will depart Old Trafford as free agents and will be eligible to sign with a new club from Tuesday (1 July). Tom Heaton was also potentially leaving United this summer as his original contract was due to expire. However, earlier this month it was announced that the seasoned goalkeeper has inked a one-year extension to stay at United for another season. As part of their retained list, United also revealed that six academy stars would be exiting the club. Hubert Graczyk, Jack Kingdon, Sam Murray, Tom Myles, James Nolan and Tom Wooster will all leave when their contracts end by close of play on Monday. United have also announced that Ashton Missin has been offered a new contract to prolong his tenure at the club. If an agreement isn't reached, the young forward would depart once his existing contract expires. Meanwhile, Brentford have rejected Manchester United 's latest bid worth up to £62.5million for Mbeumo. United are pushing to bring in the 25-year-old forward, having completed the capture of Matheus Cunha earlier this month. The Brazil international arrived from Wolves in a £62.5m deal, which is the amount United's latest offer for Mbeumo came to when add-ons were included. But Brentford are understood to have rebuffed that approach, just like a previous offer worth up to £55m, and talks continue over a move that the player is understood to have expressed his desire to make. Spurs, now managed by Mbeumo's ex-Bees boss Thomas Frank, are also interested in the Cameroon international. The forward's contract at Brentford expires next summer, although there is an option to extend by a further year.
