United at risk of losing 20-goal star after Thomas Frank's special request

Manchester United face a monumental challenge in overhauling their squad after a calamitous 2024–25 season.

They are eyeing a move for Brentford sensation Bryan Mbeumo, who has already given his preference for a move to Old Trafford.

Brentford manager Thomas Frank looks set to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur.

According to The Mirror, Frank has told Spurs he wants them to rival United for the signing of Mbeumo.

The London-outfit defeated the Red Devils in the UEFA Europa League final to secure Champions League football for next season.

United do not have that lure of European football after finishing in the 15 spot in the English top-flight.

United have already submitted an opening offer for the 25-year-old forward, but Brentford swiftly turned it down due to a significant gap in valuation.

They could table a new package worth over £60 million, which might be enough for Brentford to sanction the sale of their star player.

The Cameroon international enjoyed a blistering 2024–25 campaign, racking up 20 goals and 8 assists across all competitions.

Arsenal and Newcastle United were also interested in signing him.

The imminent arrival of Frank at Spurs could be bad news for the Red Devils.

He could leverage his connection to bring Mbeumo to London.

We believe United must act fast or any delay could see their top targets poached by their rivals.

They have already signed Matheus Cunha and potential signing of Mbeumo and a quality centre-forward could further elevate their squad quality.
