Manchester United make improved bid worth up to £70million for Bryan Mbeumo
United followed that up with an improved proposal exceeding £60m a few weeks later but talks stalled as Brentford held on for a greater fee for Mbeumo.
The Old Trafford club have now made a new offer that PA understands to be worth £65m plus an additional £5m in potential add-ons as they attempt to sign the player before their pre-season tour.
Amorim's men head to the United States on Tuesday and have so far only signed Brazil international Matheus Cunha from Wolves for a fee of £62.5m.
Mbeumo joined Brentford from Troyes in 2019 and has a year left on his deal, albeit there is an option to extend by a further year.
A post shared by Manchester United (@manchesterunited)
United are looking to rebuild after slumping home 15th last season and losing the Europa League final to Tottenham, meaning they missed out on Champions League qualification and European football entirely.
Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are searching for new homes.
Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have left on free transfers, while Jonny Evans has retired.

Thomas Frank refuses to put timeline on Tottenham's Premier League title quest
Spurs claimed Europa League success in May to end a 17-year wait for silverware, but Levy ruthlessly dismissed Ange Postecoglou after a difficult domestic campaign where the club finished one place above the relegation zone. Despite Tottenham's Premier League struggles after an injury-ravaged season, Levy made the bold claim last month that they 'need' to win the title. Frank said: 'I share his ambitions for the club. A club of this size should have that ambition. 'How far away we are is probably very difficult to say, but we should throw it forward and go for it. 'No doubt that needs to be the aim for the future. What are to odds for us winning the PL this season? 'I'm not allowed to gamble either, so I think we're probably not the favourites. Probably three teams at least ahead of us but we will do what we can to build a strong and competitive team.' Brave. Aggressive. Attack. Thomas lays down his principles 👊 — Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) July 18, 2025 During a busy first press conference as Spurs boss, Frank regularly stated his desire to improve the robustness of the squad to ensure they can handle four competitions. There were also plenty of questions about the future of key duo Son Heung-min and Cristian Romero. Son achieved his own goal of winning silverware at Tottenham in May and there has been a suggestion if he wanted to leave the club would not stand in his way. But Frank, who refused to confirm if Son would remain captain, insisted: 'It's always tricky situations like that. 'If a player has been at a club a long time, then there will always be a decision for the club to take of course. 'And of course, the head coach and the guys who are in charge and this case will be with Daniel and Johan (Lange), because there is something in it if someone wants to leave at a certain stage, then there can be something there, but the club will always decide in the end.' Postecoglou's first summer at Spurs was overshadowed by Bayern Munich's protracted pursuit of Harry Kane, which eventually ended a day before the start of the season. Frank would not want a repeat, but added: 'First and foremost, he's (Son) here now. I'm not worried too much about it.'

Yoane Wissa makes decision with Man Utd and Arsenal 'looking' at deal
Brentford star Yoane Wissa wants to leave the club this summer despite the club being willing to open talks over a new deal, according to reports. Newcastle United, Tottenham and Nottingham Forest are all attempting to sign the DR Congo international before the start of the 2025-26 campaign. The Bees, understandably, want to keep hold of the 28-year-old forward, especially with Bryan Mbeumo expected to move to Manchester United. But the BBC report that Wissa – who scored 20 goals last term across all competitions – would prefer a move away from Brentford this summer. Wissa's decision comes after Stuart Pearce claimed that United were 'looking' to sign the player before the new Premier League season starts. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. 'There's no doubt Manchester United and Arsenal would have been looking at Wissa,' Pearce told BoyleSports, who offer the latest Premier League odds, earlier this week. 'When you look at the season he had last year, he was magnificent. The goals he's delivered while playing with width and playing down the middle as well. 'That's a major asset for any football club and the fact that Nottingham Forest have moved the odd player on recently, along with other sides in the division, you would think that by the time the season starts, he might well have moved on [from Brentford].' Meanwhile, Peace has also shared his thoughts on Arsenal's £50m deal to sign Noni Madueke, which was officially announced on Friday. Madueke has been forced to deal with somewhat of a toxic reaction from some Arsenal fans, who are adamant the club have made a big mistake. Peace, though, feels it's a positive move for the Gunners. More Trending 'If Noni Madueke rips it up for Arsenal, £50million will look very cheap, make no mistake about that,' he added. 'I think at the moment, both teams can lay claim to having a good deal, he's 23-years-old so £50million in the run of things gives Arsenal another dimension as well. 'From Chelsea's point of view, if they stop piling too many players to recoup £50m, I think both teams have got a decent deal. Sometimes that happens. It's not always one's got a good deal, one's got a bad. 'I would say in this respect, both of them have got a reasonable deal they're both happy with.'

Former Lioness blasts Spain during Euro 2025 quarter-final win over Switzerland
Former England midfielder Izzy Christiansen aimed a dig at Spain during their 2-0 quarter-final victory over Switzerland at Euro 2025 on Friday. Spain secured their spot in the last four thanks to goals from Athenea del Castillo and Claudia Pina, with Switzerland reduced to 10 players late-on following a red card for Noelle Maritz. Montse Tome's side, who beat England in the 2023 World Cup final and are the main favourites to win Euro 2025, got the job done despite Mariona Caldentey and Alexia Putellas both missing penalties at Stadion Wankdorf. Spain were hugely frustrated in the first half and it wasn't until the 66th minute they broke the deadlock – the longest they've had to wait for a goal at Euro 2025 – scoring before the 22nd minute in their three group games. Christiansen, on commentary duties for the BBC, called out Spain's players in the opening 45 minutes for trying to trick the referee into giving fouls. The former Lioness also mentioned Arsenal's win over Barcelona in the Champions League final last term – in which the Spaniards were 'bullied'. 'The Spanish players are starting to act like they did in the Champions League final, the ones that played for Barcelona,' Christiansen said. 'Arsenal bullied them. I'm starting to see bits of negative body language, appealing for fouls that the referee isn't giving – and they aren't fouls.' Christiansen also blasted Caldentey and Putellas for failing to score their penalties for Spain in the ninth minute and 99th minute respectively. The ex-England star, capped 31 times, described Caldentey's penalty as 'really poorly executed' and Putellas' spot-kick as 'terrible'. Speaking after the match, Christiansen added: 'Based on tonight's performance, I don't think Spain would [get to the final] because France and Germany would [have beaten them]. 'I also think Laia Aleixandri was lucky to stay on the pitch. Spain will know they have to improve if they are to beat France or Germany. 'Spain will take confidence after being poor this evening and getting the job done.' Meanwhile, a number of former England players hailed Switzerland for their performance after the match despite their loss to Spain. Former England defender Anita Asante told the BBC: 'We knew it would be nothing short of a miracle for Switzerland to get a result tonight, but they can take heart and credit for their performance. More Trending 'This is a young team, they will bounce back and qualify for many competitions to come. They held Spain for about 60 odd minutes until they scored. That's incredible, they made it difficult, this is a world class outfit but they were frustrated by Switzerland.' Ex-England captain Steph Houghton added: 'Switzerland have done everyone proud. They're on their own journey to create a legacy. 'For those young players, it is an experience they can build on and get better.'
