Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo would have told his club that he thought that Manchester United’s last offer for him was “fair” and should be accepted.
It is according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who also told United Stand that it now seemed that Man Utd is ready to move away from the negotiations on Mbeumo if their last improved offer is not successful.
See below for more details from Jacobs, published from the UNITED Stand X account…

Jacobs said: “Not only is Man United optimistic to conclude the agreement, but Bryan Mbeumo himself told Brentford that he thought that the offer was fair, and this decision should occur before the tour in the United States.
“If Brentford completely rejects the third offer and says that it is not near the structure of the evaluation, then Man United will move away from it.”
Will Manchester United end up signing Bryan Mbeumo?
The Mbeumo saga in United has really dragged, and it seems that we are not even wiser if it will eventually pass.
MUFC fans will undoubtedly be extremely frustrated, but at least it seems that it is not yet finished, as the Guardian had been reported yesterday.
Mbeumo is a superb player who is surely too good not to get a big move at some point, but of course, it is just that Brentford requires big money if he wants to leave.
It will be interesting to see if it finally proves enough for the bees to allow the international of Cameroon to leave, or if all this work will have ended up being for nothing for United, who will have to find an alternative.
Not the best summer for United so far
United has only signed Matheus Cunha so far this summer, which is simply not good enough after the 2024/25 season they had.
The Ruben Amorim team was closer to a relegation battle than to challenge for a European place, and it is simply not acceptable for a club of this size.
Mbeumo could have been an ideal addition to give United UNITED an upgrade on flops like Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho and Antony.
However, there is no guarantee that it will happen and who knows how long it will take them to find someone else with a similar profile that would be more affordable?
