Tottenham Hotspur interest in Bryan Mbeumo 'cooled' as Manchester United preference clear

Manchester United continue to chase the signature of Bryan Mbeumo and will hope to fend off Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United have already snapped up Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, but further attacking additions are wanted.

After all, United scored just 44 Premier League goals last season and must become a more dangerous side next season.

Amorim has told Alejandro Garnacho to leave United, and the likes of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho and Antony are also expected to leave.

Cunha is a fine start, but United need more additions – and Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo is the next key target.

United made a bid for Mbeumo earlier in June, but Brentford turned down the offer and left the ball in United’s court.

Tottenham Hotspur stance on Manchester United target Bryan Mbeumo

United don’t appear to have made much progress on a move for Mbeumo, and Tottenham Hotspur are now posing a threat.

Spurs have appointed Thomas Frank as their new manager to replace Ange Postecoglou, with the Dane leaving Brentford for a move to North London.

Tottenham are now keen on Mbeumo in a potential reunion with Frank, leaving United’s pursuit in question.

Reporter Rudy Galetti now claims that Tottenham are losing hope in their pursuit of Mbeumo, believing that United are almost impossible to beat in this race.

Tottenham have allegedly ‘cooled their interest’ in signing Mbeumo, believing that the Cameroonian only wants to join United.

The prospect of reuniting with Frank may have been appealing, but few could blame Mbeumo for wanting to hear a new voice.

Mbeumo joined Frank at Brentford in 2019, meaning they have spent six years together in the capital.

Rather than sign up for more action under Frank, Mbeumo may fancy something new – and leave United in the lead for his signature.

United’s pulling power clear with Mbeumo stance

United have been through back-to-back rough Premier League seasons and look a long way away from a title challenge.

Still, United lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final in May, missing out on European football next season as a result.

Tottenham qualified for the Champions League, which usually brings increased power in the transfer market.

In the case of Mbeumo, United are still the preferred option, and Tottenham could be left lagging behind.

Tough times may have dented United’s reputation of late, but some players may still fancy the challenge of a move to Old Trafford.

Mbeumo would have the chance to help United become a force once again, and that opportunity may be more appealing than a reunion with Frank.
