Manchester United’s chase for Bryan Mbeumo is still alive – but it’s stalling, and here’s why.
United have already dropped two bids for the Brentford star. Both rejected. Now it’s clear: Brentford want £60m+ upfront, and they’re not budging – especially after seeing Chelsea splash £60m on Joao Pedro and Newcastle chasing Forest’s Anthony Elanga for £55m.
With the market inflating fast, United are being forced to wait, weigh up their options, and maybe even look elsewhere.
🧠 Amorim exploring Plan B
While Mbeumo remains the top target, manager Ruben Amorim is lining up a midfield option too.
Step forward: Javi Guerra.
Reports from Italy suggest a move for the Valencia talent is close. The 22-year-old Spanish midfielder would bring versatility – a valuable asset as Christian Eriksen exits on a free.
Guerra’s name is one of several now linked with United’s midfield rebuild, with Amorim said to be a fan of his adaptability and engine.
⚡ What’s next?
- United still want Mbeumo, but Brentford’s valuation is slowing things down.
- A third bid could come, but expect a shift in focus if the price doesn’t drop.
- Meanwhile, Guerra talks are heating up behind the scenes.
