Man Utd are in ongoing discussions with Brentford over the signing of Bryan Mbuemo; the forward is valued in excess of £60m by the west London club and they are willing to listen to offers; Mbuemo is seen as a good fit for Ruben Amorim’s system
Manchester United have had their an opening bid of £55m for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo rejected.
The offer was made up of a guaranteed £45m plus £10m in bonuses and it was expected to be turned down with Brentford valuing Mbeumo in excess of £60m.
Bryan Mbeumo scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season to help Brentford secure a top-half finish – only three players scored more.
He also notched seven assists but should have registered more, clocking a league-topping 9.26 expected assists during the campaign – primarily from delivering a table-topping 202 crosses.
Additionally, only two players covered more distance or attempted more sprints for the season, making him one of the hardest grafters in the league. He also provides serious pace – clocking the fourth-fastest speed at 36.63 km/h.
Only Mohamed Salah collected more form points than Mbeumo last term, according to the Sky Sports Power Rankings.
Factoring in decisive goals or assists that changed the outcomes of games, his 27 goal contributions earned Brentford 22 points – equating to 40 per cent of the Bees’ season tally.
