Manchester United and Tottenham are both hoping to sign Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo this summer after the 25-year-old netted 20 Premier League goals in 38 games last season

Manchester United remain confident of finalising a deal for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur. Mbeumo has told confidants he only wants to join United but well-placed sources say that has not deterred Spurs, who appointed Thomas Frank as their new coach last week.

Ivan Toney’s departure for the Saudi Pro League last summer meant there was pressure on Mbeumo to step up and help fill the void – and the Cameroon international did not disappoint, proving he was more than ready to be Brentford’s main man.
