Man Utd increase offer to buy Bryan Mbeumo

(Dan Tri) - Man Utd showed strong determination in recruiting Bryan Mbeumo when the Manchester team sent Brentford a second offer with a significantly increased value compared to the first rejected offer.

Man Utd have reportedly made a second bid of more than £60m for Brentford striker Bryan Mbeumo, after the Red Devils rejected an initial bid of £45m plus £10m in add-ons earlier this month.

Negotiations between the two clubs have been ongoing, and this improved offer is expected to convince Brentford to let him go. Mbeumo is entering the final 12 months of his Brentford contract, although the club has the option to extend it by a further 12 months.

Head coach Ruben Amorim is keen to have Mbeumo in his squad before the players return to pre-season training on July 7. The Portuguese tactician is trying to address a serious lack of goals in the team, who scored just 44 goals in 38 Premier League games last season.

Previously, Man Utd recruited striker Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £62.5 million. Mbeumo scored 20 goals and had 7 assists for Brentford last season, the 25-year-old striker is expected to strengthen the attacking options for the "Red Devils". However, coach Amorim still wants to have a real striker, but this depends on Man Utd being able to sell players not in the plan such as Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho and Antony to raise funds for reinvestment.

In another development, former defender Jonny Evans will officially join the Man Utd staff after reaching an agreement to take charge of youth loan deals. Evans retired at the end of last season and Man Utd are keen to keep him at the club, believing his experience and professionalism can play a key role in developing young players.

Evans came through the Man Utd academy before moving to West Bromwich Albion in 2015, only to return to Old Trafford eight years later. His character, professionalism and experience are seen as valuable qualities the club will be keen to exploit in the future.

He will fill the role left by Les Parry after the former Manchester United loan manager left the club last November to take up a similar role at NEOM SC in Saudi Arabia. Evans' role will include identifying suitable clubs to send young players to, monitoring their progress and providing the necessary support.

In a glittering 19-year playing career, Evans made 538 appearances for five different clubs. He won three Premier League titles under Sir Alex Ferguson at Man Utd and earned 107 caps for Northern Ireland.
