OFFICIAL NOW: Man United complete the signing of South American striker on a Six year deal – as Player Spotted arriving for Medical

Manchester United are favorites to hire the services of Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford but they still have to reach an agreement over a fee with the Bees.

Not so long ago, it was reported that the Red Devils have agreed an initial fee to lure the Cameroonian international.

However, as per the latest updates, a complete agreement over the price has not been reached as yet. As per today’s version of The Mirror, Brentford have turned down an offer worth £62.5million from the Old Trafford outfit.

Manchester United paid £62.5million to lure Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, but as it stands, that figure is not going to be enough to sign Mbeumo.

For now, the major boost for the 20-time English champions is that Mbeumo has informed Brentford and Spurs that he wants to move to Old Trafford (The Athletic).

Moreover, personal terms have been agreed and the African is set to sign a contract that will make him earn £180,000 a week, £46.8million in the next five years.

Are Manchester United about to pay over the odds for Mbeumo?
It will be fair to say that Erik ten Hag wasted a lot of cash to sign players that worked well under him when he was managing in the Netherlands. Majority of signings failed in the Premier League.

So, United are now focusing on stars, who have proven their worth in the Premier League. Mbeumo scored 20 goals in the league last term but is he really worth £65million?

The 25-year-old winger joined the London club for only £5.8million and the Bees are now taking advantage of Ruben Amorim’s desperation to improve the offense by asking for a mammoth fee.

In your opinion, are Manchester United about to pay over the odds for Mbeumo?
