Manchester United have submitted an opening offer to Brentford for winger Bryan Mbeumo, talkSPORT understands.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 25-year-old<\/a> is believed to have already given his approval over a summer switch to Old Trafford, although the bid from Man United falls short of Brentford’s valuation for the player. <\/p>\n 3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> talkSPORT understands an offer of \u00a345million, plus \u00a310m in add-ons has been submitted to Brentford. <\/p>\n However, the Bees<\/a> are holding out for a fee of \u00a360m, which would eclipse their \u00a340m club-record sale of Ivan Toney<\/a> to Al Ahli last year.<\/p>\n It is understood that United are prepared to meet Mbeumo’s whopping wage demands in order to join the Red Devils<\/a>, who failed to secure European football for next term.<\/p>\n The Cameroon international wants \u00a3250,000 to sign on the dotted line.<\/p>\n Incredibly, that is five times his current salary at the Gtech Community Stadium, where he pockets \u00a350k on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n Mbeumo recently enjoyed the most productive season of his career to date to help Brentford seal tenth spot in the top-flight.<\/p>\n Featuring in all of the west London outfit’s 38 Premier League matches, he chipped in with 20 goals and seven assists.<\/p>\n Only Mohamed Salah<\/a>, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland<\/a> scored more goals in the division than the ex-Troyes man.<\/p>\n And with just one year left on his deal, Brentford know this would be the best time to cash in on the player to avoid losing him on a free transfer in 12 months time.<\/p>\n Newcastle have also held interest in Mbeumo<\/a>, but the forward only has eyes on linking up with Ruben Amorim’s men.<\/p>\n 3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> 3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> Potential suitors were given a boost in their quest to secure Mbeumo’s services last month when Brentford boss Thomas Frank<\/a> admitted he may be sold.<\/p>\n Speaking after the 1-1 draw away at Wolves in Brentford’s final game of the campaign, he said: “I can definitely understand the interest in him.<\/p>\n \u201cThere should be interest in him. He is at his best age, he has scored 20 goals.<\/p>\n “I would like to keep him, but we are a selling club so if someone comes in with the right price.\u201d<\/p>\n United are acting fast in their preparations for the new 2025\/26 season as they look to assemble a squad capable of qualifying for Europe following a nightmare term which saw them up in 15th spot.<\/p>\n Matheus Cunha has already been snapped up from Wolves<\/a> in a \u00a362.5m deal.<\/p>\n And they remain in the hunt for a striker after seemingly missing out to Chelsea in the race to land Liam Delap<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"Mbeumo](\"https:\/\/talksport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/05\/bryan-mbeumo-brentford-celebrates-scoring-998078226.jpg?strip=all&w=960\")
