Mbeumo, 25, has expressed a strong interest in joining United, aligning with manager Ruben Amorim's plans to revamp the squad's attacking options. Despite having a year left on his contract with an option for a 12-month extension, Brentford are open to negotiations but remain firm on their asking price of £60m ($81m), as revealed by The Athletic.
Mbeumo netted 20 goals and provided eight assists during the 2024-25 season, playing a pivotal role in Brentford's 10th-place finish. His versatility, capable of operating both on the wing and centrally, adds to his appeal for top-tier clubs seeking dynamic attacking options.
In line with his elevated status, Mbeumo is reportedly seeking a substantial wage increase, aiming for a weekly salary of £250,000, five times his current earnings. United's pursuit of Mbeumo is part of a broader strategy to revitalize the team after a lacklustre season.
