Manchester United are keen to sign Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo.
Brentford have reportedly been left 'irritated' by the public nature of Manchester United's pursuit of Bryan Mbeumo. Earlier this week, it was widely reported that the winger had snubbed interest from a host of Premier League outfits, including Newcastle and Arsenal, in favour of joining the Red Devils.
However, the Telegraph report that the Bees are yet to receive any sort of approach from the Red Devils, and they have not even quoted an asking price for the winger - though it is said to be in the region of £60million.
Claims that Mbeumo has decided to join United have left Brentford feeling 'irritated' by how the saga looks set to play out in the public eye, and they may not demand a higher fee for the 25-year-old as a result.
The former Troyes star has just one year left on his current contract at the Gtech Community Stadium, though the Bees have the option to extend the deal by a further 12 months. It is also worth noting that there is not a release clause in the contract either.
Brentford have developed a reputation for being tough negotiators in the transfer window, and the growing interest from rivals could see them secure a significant fee for their No. 19 - may that be from United or elsewhere.
Mbeumo will add a significant goal threat to Ruben Amorim's frontline is he secures his desired move to the Theatre of Dreams, having shown in seasons gone by that he is capable of playing on either wing and as a striker when required.
