Manchester United will refuse to be drawn into a bidding war for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo, despite Tottenham Hotspur's interest in the forward. The Red Devils have been active in the transfer market following a disappointing 2024-25 season, securing the signature of Wolves' Matheus Cunha, being rejected by Liam Delap for Chelsea and making an early approach for Mbeumo.
However, their pursuit of the coveted 25-year-old Cameroon international has been complicated by Spurs. Their new manager Thomas Frank eis ager to make Mbeumo his standout summer signing after leaving Brentford for Tottenham earlier this week. Spurs have since submitted a £70million bid for the Bees' star player, surpassing the £55m offer made by United.

Despite Mbeumo's preference to join United above all other clubs this summer, ESPN reports that they will not go beyond a certain price point for the former Troyes attacker and have other targets in mind if Spurs beat them to a deal.
Eberechi Eze and Antoine Semenyo, who have both been linked with United already this summer, could become more prominent in the club's plans if a deal for Mbeumo falls through.
Eze, the Crystal Palace playmaker, is another player attracting plenty of attention after capping off another impressive season at Crystal Palace with a match-winning performance in the FA Cup final.
Eze, who has a £68m release clause in his contract at Selhurst Park, is understood to be in the same price range as Cunha and Mbeumo.
Semenyo, who has had an impressive season with 11 goals and five assists in the Premier League, is also on Spurs' radar.

Bournemouth reportedly value Semenyo at around £70m and can hold out for that amount given several of their top-tier talents have been sold, with Dean Huijsen already offloaded and Milos Kerkez set to join Liverpool for around £45m and Illya Zabarnyi a £50m target for Paris Saint-Germain.
While United have other targets in mind, they are expected to first try and secure a deal for Mbeumo, given the player's desire to make the move to Old Trafford.
Last term, United were among the Premier League's lowest scorers, with only the bottom three and Everton failing to surpass their tally of 44 goals.
