Manchester United have made an improved bid in the region of €70million for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, it has been reported.
Head coach Ruben Amorim is attempting to rebuild the Red Devils after seeing the club's worst top-flight season in 51 years compounded by a damaging Europa League final defeat to Tottenham.
Matheus Cunha has joined from Wolves in a €73m deal and United are seeking to bolster their attack further before pre-season gets under way on 7 July.
Having made initial contact with Brentford over Mbeumo earlier this month and reportedly seen a bid of €52.5m plus €11.5m in add-ons rejected, it is understood they have now made an offer reaching in excess of €70m.
Spurs, now managed by Mbuemo’s ex-Bees boss Thomas Frank, are also interested in the Cameroon international.
The 25-year-old’s contract at Brentford expires next summer, although there is an option to extend by a further year.
