Man Utd make improved £60m transfer bid for Bryan Mbeumo
Matheus Cunha has joined from Wolves in a £62.5m deal and United are seeking to bolster their attack further before pre-season gets under way on July 7.

Having made initial contact with Brentford over Mbeumo earlier this month and reportedly seen a bid of £45m plus £10m in add-ons rejected, it is understood they have now made an offer reaching in excess of £60m.
Spurs, now managed by Mbuemo's ex-Bees boss Thomas Frank, are also interested in the Cameroon international.
The 25-year-old's contract at Brentford expires next summer, although there is an option to extend by a further year.

Man United step up pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo
Manchester United has made a second bid of £60m for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, after their initial offer of £45m plus £10m in add-ons was rejected. Bryan Mbeumo has indicated his desire to join Manchester United, despite interest from other clubs including Newcastle and Tottenham. Brentford is seeking a transfer fee for Mbeumo similar to the £62.5m United paid for Matheus Cunha, noting Mbeumo's 20 Premier League goals last season. United aims to strengthen its attack, having scored only 44 league goals last season, and may fund the transfer by selling players such as Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Jadon Sancho. Tottenham, now managed by Mbeumo's former coach Thomas Frank and having secured Champions League football, is also a strong contender for the Cameroon international.
