Manchester United submit improved bid exceeding £60m for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo
Manchester United have submitted an improved offer to Brentford totalling in excess of £60million ($81.1m) for Bryan Mbeumo. The Athletic reported Mbeumo wants to join United, who tabled a proposal of £45m plus £10m in add-ons to Brentford for the Cameroon international on June 4. The 25-year-old is entering the final year of his contract at the west London club, who do have the option to extend his stay by a further 12 months. Advertisement Mbeumo, who joined Brentford from French side Troyes in 2019, scored 20 goals and provided eight assists as Brentford finished 10th in the Premier League. United have already completed the signing of Brazil international Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, as head coach Ruben Amorim seeks to strengthen his attacking options ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. Analysis by Carl Anka Bryan Mbeumo is a good player and should fit whatever style of football Ruben Amorim wants to play next season at Manchester United. The 25-year-old scored 20 goals and provided eight assists for Brentford last season, establishing himself as one of the better forwards in the Premier League. He is versatile and efficient in front of goal. Give him the ball and he'll look to get things done. Mbeumo has developed from a promising youngster in the Championship into a forward capable of taking on Champions League defences. The Cameroon international has been deployed in several roles at Brentford, impressing as a right winger in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 setup (playing off Ivan Toney), and thriving as a striker in a 3-5-2 alongside Yoane Wissa. He is direct. Naturally left-footed, but not shy about using his right, he excels when driving into space. A look at his goals and assists from last season shows a player who has favoured areas in and around the penalty area, and knows how to get to them consistently. His versatility is alluring but Mbeumo's best fit would be as the right-sided No 10 in Amorim's 3-4-3. A look at Mbeumo's progressive carries from 2024-25 shows a left-footed player equally capable of cutting inside or getting chalk on his boots on the outside. If he were to join Amorim's side, he would help provide additional angles of attack, making the team less one-dimensional in the final third. This is a Premier League-proven attacking player who wouldn't require the same onboarding process that may come with alternative transfer targets. (Alex Dodd – CameraSport via Getty Images)

Jonny Evans agrees Manchester United youth development role
Jonny Evans is in advanced talks with Manchester United over a staff role that will tap into his knowledge of youth development. United want to retain Evans at the club after he called time on his playing career and an agreement is in place for him to look after loans of emerging talents. Evans, 37, returned to United in 2023 after eight years away and provided a meaningful contribution on the pitch, making 43 appearances, and also a telling impact around the club, offering advice to younger players and giving his insight into United's heritage. On last summer's pre-season tour in Los Angeles he spoke compellingly of staff members losing their jobs in the first round of redundancies. Advertisement But his football experience is seen as vital to keep at United, where he won three Premier League titles, two League Cups, a Champions League and a Club World Cup in his first spell. He rose through the ranks at United having first attended the club's centre of excellence in Belfast aged nine, making his debut in September 2007 under Sir Alex Ferguson. After leaving Old Trafford in 2015 to join West Bromwich Albion then Leicester City, Evans returned on a free transfer under Erik ten Hag, initially being paid the minimum wage due to being registered as a short-term employee. United see Evans as a valuable asset for his character, professionalism and experience of winning trophies, and feel a role in bridging the pathway between academy and senior football suits him. Les Parry, United's loans manager, left the club last November to take a similar job at NEOM SC in Saudi Arabia and Evans is set to fill than vacancy. His job will be to identify appropriate clubs at which to place young players and then keep on top of their progress, offering support where needed. In all, across his two stints at United, Evans played 241 games, scoring eight goals. ()

Manchester City's Rico Lewis banned for three matches after Club World Cup red card

The 20-year-old was show a straight red card in City's opening win over Wydad which saw him miss Sunday's 6-0 victory against Al Ain, with the original one-match ban being extended to three matches. Advertisement City subsequently appealed the extended ban, but this was unsuccessful. Pep Guardiola's side must beat Juventus on Thursday to finish top of Group G of the Club World Cup, with the prospect of being tied with Real Madrid, should they win their group, in the first knockout round. Matheus Nunes started in the wing-back role in the last match as Guardiola trialled a back three. Lewis would have been in contention to start but it looks likely that the Portuguese midfielder will continue to deputise at right-back, which he did for the final months of last season. ()
