Manchester United will have to raise their bid for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, with the Bees said to be holding out for a deal similar to the Red Devils’ purchase of Matheus Cunha earlier this summer.

The 25-year-old is entering the final year of his contract at Brentford, who do have the option to extend his stay by a further 12 months.

Manchester United have submitted an improved bid of more than £60m for Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo. New Tottenham boss Thomas Frank was keen to be reunited with Mbeumo, while there has also been interest in the forward from other Champions League clubs.
