Manchester United's Offer For Bryan Mbeumo Brentford Rejects
Brentford has told Manchester United they should come back with a bigger offer if they want to sign Bryan Mbeumo.
Most recently, the club nicknamed The Bees rejected a total package of 62.5 million pounds (85.7 million US dollars).
Manchester United has made Mbeumo a priority recruit and has stepped up negotiations with Brentford in recent days.
However, Brentford still expects more than 62.5 million pounds - including additional costs - which are currently available as it believes the forward's value has increased significantly after scoring 20 Premier League goals last season.

There are indications from Brentford that interested clubs will have to go beyond 65 million to agree to a deal for the 25-year-old.
The Red Devils and Brentford will hold further talks. There is money that can be spent to strengthen Ruben Amorim's squad even without European tournaments next season.
Despite the setbacks, Manchester United remains confident that Mbeumo wants to move to Old Trafford.
There is still hope that a deal could be made, which will allow the Cameroon international to join the squad to start pre-season training on July 7, 2025.
However, according to ESPN reports, the Red Devils will remain disciplined in negotiating transfer fees and wages.
Previously, Manchester United had signed Matheus Cunha after activating a 62.5 million release clause in his contract at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Cunha scored 15 Premier League goals last season. He is 26 years older than Mbeumo.
