Mbeumo drops new Man Utd transfer hint as wait for Brentford star continues

Manchester United are still trying to land Bryan Mbeumo, with the forward himself keen on the move to Old Trafford and hasn't hidden that with his social media activity

Bryan Mbeumo has liked Leny Yoro's Instagram post after he confirmed his return to Manchester United training in what is the latest hint that he's keen on making the switch.

The Brentford frontman has seen the Red Devils have several bids for him rejected as the Bees hold firm on their valuation, which exceeds £60million. He remains the top target for those at Old Trafford but no deal has yet been struck.

Mbeumo has made no secret of his desire to move on and take up the opportunity at the Premier League giants, who are trying to land more firepower in a bid to get them back up the table. His latest move on Instagram has appeared to underline his motivation to move on.

He liked Yoro's post despite the pair having no prior involvement as team-mates. The defender had picked up an injury late last year, but was still able to play in the Europa League final and is now back in pre-season training in Manchester.

The Frenchman put up a post that read: "ReUnited" alongside an image of him going through his paces and Mbeumo was among those to like the post, along with current Old Trafford stars Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot.

Mbeumo stands to massively enhance his wages if he does move to United, who would pay him upwards of £200,000-a-week. Personal terms will not be an issue and it is now on the two clubs agreeing a fee, but the Manchester club are yet to return with a third bid.

Currently Matheus Cunha is the only man to head to Old Trafford this summer, leaving Wolves when his release clause was met, but Ruben Amorim has made it a priority to bolster his options in the final third and Mbeumo hit 20 goals last term, which included scoring against the Red Devils.

Brentford have previously sold their top talent, doing so with Ivan Toney last summer, but only for the right price, and their director of football Phil Giles insists Mbeumo will stay at the club if their valuation is not met.

"He had a fantastic season," said Giles recently. "We expected big interest in him, we have had big interest in him. He has his ideas about where he wants to take his career. He is well within his rights to do that. It is not impossible he is still a Brentford player next season if we agree he is going to stay."
