Former Tottenham star warns Man Utd that £60m transfer could be hijacked
Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has suggested his former club could hijack Manchester United's transfer move for Bryan Mbeumo. The Red Devils have reportedly agreed personal terms with the Brentford star, who has indicated his desire to join United in the summer window. But United have so far been unable to agree a fee with Brentford with the Bees rejecting an initial bid worth £45m plus £10m in add-ons. United have since increased their offer – more than £60m – but O'Hara has argued Spurs could dive in at the last minute to sign Mbeumo instead. Brentford manager Thomas Frank is thought to be the leading contender to replace Ange Postecoglou, who was dramatically dismissed on Friday.

Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. If Frank gets the Spurs job, O'Hara has suggested it may put the club in a position to swoop in for Mbeumo, given their time together at Brentford. Speaking on Sky Sports about Frank being the No.1 candidate to take over from Postecoglou, O'Hara said: 'I really like Thomas Frank. 'I think the time has come for him to have a big opportunity. He's put a really good team together with Brentford. 'Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Kevin Schade were absolutely fantastic for them this season. 'Look, can we hijack Manchester United's move for Mbeumo if we get Frank? I'd love him at the club. 'He's a really good manager. He's organised, his teams play good football and they press. I think he'd be a good appointment.' Spurs beat United in the Europa League final at the end of the 2024-25 season to book their spot in the Champions League. The result meant United missed out on European football for the first time in a decade and they're rumoured to have a small summer transfer budget. More Trending United have already spent a large chunk of their budget on Wolves star Matheus Cunha, forking out £62.5m to bring the Brazilian to Old Trafford, although it has been spread over three payments in the next two years. It's thought they will still have the funds left to land Mbeumo, even after ruling out the sale of Bruno Fernandes to Al-Hilal for £100m. Mbeumo shined for Brentford in the 2024-25 season, scoring 20 goals across 38 Premier League matches. The 25-year-old Cameroon international has been with Brentford for the last six years, joining the west London club from French side Troyes.

Jim Ratcliffe in race against time to meet Ruben Amorim's five Man Utd demands
Manchester United have a crucial summer of transfer business to conduct to ensure a solid platform for Ruben Amorim to work from as he attempts to turn around the club's fortunes The clock is ticking on Manchester United's hope of delivering what Ruben Amorim wants in his bid to turn around the Red Devils' fortunes. The Portuguese coach is desperate to improve upon the club's 15th place finish in the Premier League. This summer marks the first opportunity for Amorim to lead the club in pre-season, with a more substantial period to make signings after January saw the arrivals of Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu. It also sees the moment where Amorim preferred to arrive at Old Trafford before being told he had to join United in January. The first transfer window of the summer is open until June 10, before the market once again becomes available to work in from June 16. United have already announced the arrival of Matheus Cunha in a £62.5million deal, but there remains plenty of work to do. Amorim is said to have seen his first months in the job as firefighting as United failed to earn European football. Now, the 40-year-old wants to see a fresh start. According to ESPN, he wants at least one more new signing while also getting rid of at least four unwanted players. The club heads to Chicago on July 22 - a date that Amorim would like to see the issues resolved by. After signing Cunha, United are now working to add Bryan Mbeumo to their team. The Cameroon international is keen to make the switch, though United are still required to come to an agreement with Brentford. It is perhaps exits that will be more important to maintaining a harmonious environment for Amorim however. Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Antony would all appear to have no future with the Red Devils, while Alejandro Garnacho faces an uncertain future too. Sancho saw Chelsea pay a £5million fee to not sign him permanently, while Rashford's transfer preference is Barcelona, who would perhaps prefer to loan the forward. Antony meanwhile enjoyed a promising loan at Real Betis, while Garnacho has been told to find a new club amid an end of season dispute. If deals are not sealed in time for United's trip to the United States, it puts Amorim and the club in the difficult position of deciding how to integrate such players. Taking those stars on tour risks disruption to Amorim's preparations, while leaving them out could see their values drop quickly. Amorim has discussed United's plans for the summer. 'Without Champions League, we don't need a big squad, we can control the squad in a better way," he said. "Then we have a plan that is to bring some new players, of course. But our big plan is to improve the team that we have, is to improve our academy, because I think that is the future. It was the past, so can be the future. 'It's not going to change so much because we have the financial fair play rules. We are not allowed to do much this summer, even with Champions League, so we are prepared for that. 'It's important to stick together. We are going to struggle, it is not going to be everything right away but I have a feeling and I see the team improving and that is the most important thing.'
