Manchester United are continuing to be linked with a move for Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo this summer. Mbeumo has been identified as a key target for United this summer as Ruben Amorim prepares for his first full season as the club's head coach. United have already begun their transfer business for the summer, with Matheus Cunha arriving from Wolves after the club activated the £62.5million release clause in his contract. Now, Mbeumo is considered to be the next priority for United during this summer's transfer window . Tottenham Hotspur, though, are also in the running for the Cameroon international's signature. Here, the Manchester Evening News puts together the latest on what has been said and reported on Mbeumo's future. United have already submitted a bid to try and sign Mbeumo this summer. Brentford rejected United's offer which was worth an initial fee of £55million plus a further £10million in add-ons. There have been reports that Mbeumo is valued closer to £70million by the Bees, with the forward under contract until next summer with the option of extending for a further year until 2027. It's understood that United remain confident they can agree a deal to sign Mbeumo from Brentford this summer. As reported by the Manchester Evening News , Mbeumo's desire to move to Old Trafford makes United the favourites to sign the Brentford star this summer. Tottenham are understood to be "going hard" in their efforts to try and beat United to the signing of Mbeumo. United are still confident they can agree a deal to sign Mbeumo despite the interest from Spurs. Mbeumo is understood to have been given advise by a United player over the prospect of moving to Old Trafford. Manchester Evening News has reported that Andre Onana has advised Mbeumo to complete a switch to United this summer. Onana and Mbeumo are teammates for Cameroon and were last in action alongside one another for their country back in March in a World Cup qualifier against Libya. Mbeumo has recently spoken about his future amid interest from United and Tottenham. Spurs recently appointed former Brentford boss Thomas Frank as their new manager, and Mbeumo says that he "accepts" that his future has become the subject of transfer speculation. "It is a bit new for me, I would say! I think it can be the life of a footballer and you need to accept it," Mbeumo told Sky Sports while at the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday. "He (Frank)'s done so much for me. He literally trusted me from the start. I think he developed the team so well. He developed me as a human and a player as well. "So I can only wish him all the best, and I'm sure he's going to do well." Here at the Manchester Evening News, we're dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester United coverage and analysis.
