Manchester United and Tottenham are both hoping to sign Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo this summer after the 25-year-old netted 20 Premier League goals in 38 games last season
Manchester United reportedly remain confident that they will win the race to sign Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo, despite Tottenham's attempts to hijack the deal. Spurs made a play for Mbeumo after appointing Thomas Frank as their new manager.
Frank managed Mbeumo for six years at Brentford and Tottenham are able to offer the 25-year-old Champions League football, having qualified for the tournament by beating United 1-0 to win the Europa League.
Mirror Football understands that Spurs have made a £70million offer for Mbeumo which is worth an initial £65m plus £5m in add-ons. However, the Manchester Evening News are now reporting that United remain the frontrunners.
It is claimed that Mbeumo still prefers a move to United over Tottenham, despite hailing the impact Frank has had on his career while attending the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday. When asked about his future, Mbeumo told Sky Sports : "It (speculation) is a bit new for me I would say!
"I think it can be the life of a footballer and you need to accept it. It's been my best season so far in the Premier League. And even collectively, I think we did play very good games. I think we've been unlucky to chase the Europe spot, but I think it's been a fantastic season.
"He [Frank] has done so much for me. He literally trusted me from the start," Mbeumo said. "I think he developed the team so well.
"He developed me as a human and a player as well. So I can only wish him all the best, and I'm sure he's going to do well.
"I think he knows everything. He's really smart. He knows where he wants to bring the team, how he wants to play. I think he's been fantastic for Brentford.
"I think he's going to have some time to adapt, obviously. [Champions League] games, more expectations, as you said, but I'm sure he's going to do well.
"He knows how to talk to people. He knows how to build a group. And that's why we've been playing so well.
"It's big shoes to fill. I think, (Frank had) seven years as a head coach. So, obviously it's going to be changing, but let's see."
