href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6398630\/2025\/06\/04\/bryan-mbeumo-manchester-united-transfer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Athletic<\/a>, United have submitted a bid worth up to \u00a355million for Mbeumo.<\/p>\n<p>That deal consists of a \u00a345million fixed fee, with a further \u00a310million in potential add-ons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>United In Focus <\/strong>understands Brentford intend to reject that offer and the Bees are seeking a deal worth more than \u00a360million.<\/p>\n<p>The ball is back in United\u2019s court as talks continue in an attempt to thrash out a second attacking addition of the summer window.<\/p>\n<p>Mbeumo is under contract until 2026, but Brentford have an option to extend that deal by a further year.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old hit 20 goals and eight assists in 38 Premier League games this past season, producing an impressive campaign for the Bees, as seen below in stats provided by <a

be done with Brentford.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of a contract with Mbeumo, <strong>United in Focus<\/strong> understands <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/the-wages-man-united-are-willing-to-pay-bryan-mbeumo-as-ineos-open-talks-with-brentford\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United are prepared to pay Mbeumo around \u00a3250,000-a-week<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That would be a hefty increase on his current wages at Brentford, similar to how Matheus Cunha will now earn \u00a3200,000-a-week at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n<p>Mbeumo could become one of United\u2019s highest earners, but the pressure is now on Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos to meet Brentford\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n<p>Signing Cunha and Mbeumo in the opening stages of the window would be quite the start for United and a huge boost for Amorim after some goal-shy displays from his
