Manchester United agree terms with Brentford for Bryan Mbeumo
Six weeks after seeing their first offer rebuffed, Ruben Amorim's Red Devils have agreed terms with the Bees to sign the 25-year-old forward. United are set to pay £65million for Mbeumo, with Brentford reportedly in line for a further £6m in potential add-ons. The Cameroon international is in line to become the Premier League club's second summer signing after Brazil international Matheus Cunha arrived from Wolves in a £62.5million deal last month.

Bryan Mbeumo could land dream Man Utd shirt number after £70m bid
Bryan Mbeumo could be in line to receive his ideal squad number, 19, should he complete a move to Manchester United, with the shirt currently unoccupied at Old Trafford. Talks between United and Brentford remain ongoing, but negotiations have stretched over a month, with the Bees determined to secure maximum value for the Cameroon international, who they signed for just £5.8 million back in 2019. Progress has been slow, leading to frustration behind the scenes, but United have now tabled a third offer worth £70 million in the hopes of finally persuading Brentford to part with their star attacker.

He has always played in the No 19 shirt during his footballing career, having used the number for both Brentford and Cameroon on international duty. And if he joined United, he would be able to snap up that shirt number immediately because it is currently vacant. The last player who wore number 19 for United was defender Raphael Varane, who left the club last summer, joining Serie A side Como. It comes after United had two bids rejected for Mbeumo, the last one being worth around £62.5m - the same amount they paid to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves. The Bees have been adamant that United should pay them more than they did for Cunha because Mbeumo outscored the Brazilian last season and is also the younger player. But a deal is now likely to be agreed after United paid Brentford's asking price for the player - who has already thrashed out personal terms. He has also told Brentford he doesn't want to join any other club despite links to Tottenham, who were interested in the forward after recruiting his former Bees boss Thomas Frank. Mbeumo netted an impressive 20 goals in the Premier League for Brentford last season and is one of the most sought-after players in the topflight. He has scored a total of 70 goals in 242 appearances for the team since 2019, having started off in the Championship.

A lot is happening at Brentford - how are you feeling?
If you don't mind us saying so, it feels like you Brentford fans are having a strange summer. The Bees have received some investment - as this page reported earlier in the week - which should, in theory, help improve the squad. Naturally, there's the small matter of the club's charismatic manager leaving, which was far from ideal. The loss of the captain wasn't great either. And, in some respects, is this image below perhaps a scenario that represented a worst nightmare back in May? Forgive us for using an image of our own site but you can see where we are going with this. A lot is going on at the Gtech - it's a lot to digest and the future seems blurry. So please, in detail, tell us what you think about things and how you're feeling. Send your thoughts here

Bryan Mbeumo offered chance to land dream Man Utd shirt number after £70m bid
Manchester United are closing in on the signing of Bryan Mbeumo after offering Brentford £70m for their star man, which should be enough to get the deal over the line Bryan Mbeumo could be handed his dream shirt number of 19 if he can wrap up a move to Manchester United, with the digits currently available at Old Trafford. United are still locked in talks with Brentford but negotiations have dragged on for more than a month as the Bees look to get as much as possible for the Cameroon international, who cost them just £5.8million in 2019. There has been frustration over the low progress of discussions between the two clubs, but now United have submitted a third bid of £70m - hoping it can tempt Brentford into selling their star man. Mbeumo is keen on completing the move to Old Trafford and should the move come to fruition, it seems there will be an added incentive for the 25-year-old. He has always played in the No 19 shirt during his footballing career, having used the number for both Brentford and Cameroon on international duty.
