Ivan Toney’s departure for the Saudi Pro League last summer meant there was pressure on Mbeumo to step up and help fill the void – and the Cameroon international did not disappoint, proving he was more than ready to be Brentford’s main man.

Manchester United have seen a first offer rejected, in the region of £45m with £10m in add-ons, and Spurs have stepped up their interest after hiring ex-Brentford boss Thomas Frank to replace the sacked Ange Postecoglou.

Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo has reportedly set his sights on completing a summer move to Manchester United, despite significant interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
