In what is a huge boost for Manchester United, Brentford have signed an attacker who can potentially replace Mbeumo. That indicates that the Bees have all but accepted the fact that they are ready to sell the winger, with Man United the front-runners to sign him.

Manchester United are preparing their final bid for Bryan Mbeumo after Brentford rejected their second proposal which was in excess of £60 million.The road to landing the Cameroonian has been far

Mbeumo wants Manchester United, Brentford seem to have a replacement in Milambo, and Ruben Amorim surely hopes the 25-year-old is signed before pre-season begins, so the longer the Red Devils haggle over the £5m gap in valuation, the more they risk angering their Lisbon-born coach and supporters too.
