Man Utd advancing with talks to sign £65m PL star

Manchester United are advancing with talks to sign Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Cameroon international had a sensational season with the Bees, scoring 20 goals and providing eight assists in the Premier League.

He now has his sights on joining the Red Devils and has already turned down offers from the likes of Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle.

Brentford have turned down two bids for the forward and they are reportedly eyeing at least £65 million to part ways with his services.

Romano reports that United will speed up negotiations in the coming weeks and it is most likely that the club will meet the reported price tag.

Mbeumo can operate as a striker or on the right wing, but he could play as one of the attacking midfielders under manager Ruben Amorim.

He could be partnered by summer signing Matheus Cunha. United are still in the transfer market for a marquee centre-forward.
