Two Manchester United players have given their seal of approval to the signing of Bryan Mbeumo, as the Red Devils continue to thrash out a deal with Brentford. United have already had two bids rejected for Mbeumo, the most recent of which totalled £62.5million.

Ruben Amorim's side were prepared to pay Brentford a guaranteed £55m plus £7.5m in potential add-ons for the winger, who scored 20 Premier League goals last season. United side had already seen an offer of £45m plus up to £10m in add-ons turned down earlier this month.

It's been reported that Brentford would want at least £62.5m up front before approving his sale. That's the same fee amount which United paid to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves at the start of window, triggering his release clause.

Mbeumo, 25, also has interest from Tottenham but he only wants to join United. The Red Devils are hopeful that a deal can be agreed in time for the Cameroon international to link up with Amorim's squad at the beginning of pre-season.

United will embark on a tour of the USA this summer and want Mbeumo to be involved so that he can acclimatise himself to his new team-mates. Two members of the Red Devils' dressing room will seemingly be more than happy to welcome him.

On Instagram, both Cunha and Joshua Zirkzee liked a post from journliast Fabrizio Romano which said that United will continue talks over signing Mbeumo. Cunha and Zirkzee could be the men playing alongside the 25-year-old in Amorim's front three next season.

But there's still a way to go yet, with Mbeumo still firmly a Brentford player and due back there for pre-season training. The French-born star has 12 months left on his contract, although the Bees can exercise an option to extend it by a further year.

Mbeumo's prolific form last term piqued the interest of Arsenal, Newcastle and Tottenham but his heart is set on a move to Old Trafford. Tottenham recently appointed Brentford boss Thomas Frank as their new manager and it was hoped that his connection to Mbeumo would help persuade him to snub United.

Ironically, Frank talked up Mbeumo's price tag at the end of the season. Before joining Tottenham, he was quoted as telling Tipsbladet: "It is clear that if he is to be sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount. It is a lot. Mucho. Really a lot. Then it is clear that it is impossible to replace him one for one. It cannot be done.

"There is a reason why he costs X number of million pounds, and we do not have X number of million pounds to buy for. I would say that I would be surprised if a lot of big clubs don't look at him. I would be surprised with what he has to offer.

"How many wingers score 20 goals for a mid-table club? And then with seven assists plus his work ethic. And his character. All these things mean that he has a lot, so he is a good player."
