Tottenham was openly disregarded by a player.
The British outlet 'The Sun' reported on the 28th, "Tottenham aimed to sign Bryan Mbeumo. However, Mbeumo rejected the move, stating he would not transfer unless it was to Manchester United."
The Cameroon-born forward Mbeumo scored 20 goals and provided 7 assists last season with Brentford. He is a player capable of filling the role of a right winger and a leading striker, which is expected to fill in if Son Heung-min transfers.
Frank Thomas, who led Brentford, pushed for Mbeumo's transfer after joining Tottenham. However, the answer from his protégé was "no." Mbeumo dreams of a transfer to Manchester United.
However, Manchester United is also finding it difficult to secure Mbeumo's transfer. BBC reported on the 28th, "Manchester United offered £62.5 million (approximately 117 billion won) to Brentford for Mbeumo's transfer but was rejected."
As much as Manchester United desperately wants Mbeumo, this indicates an intention to raise his market value. If Mbeumo transfers to Manchester United, he could earn a weekly wage of £250,000 (approximately 460 million won), more than five times his current salary. Mbeumo wants to play as a starter immediately at Manchester United.
