this summer.

The Cameroon star, 25, has been identified by United as their next priority signing after concluding a deal for Matheus Cunha from Wolves. And despite interest from elsewhere in the form of

Arsenal and Newcastle, Mbeumo has indicated his preference would be to join the Red Devils.

‌ Mbeumo is coming off the back of a standout season for Brentford after breaking the 20 goal barrier in the Premier League for the first time.

‌ United are set to approach Brentford imminently to try and thrash out a deal for the versatile forward, who is valued by the Londoners in excess of £60million. But Mbeumo's desire for a

significant salary increase means the overall package of a deal for the Bees talisman will not be cheap.

As first revealed by The Times, Mbeumo currently earns £50,000-a-week at Brentford; he's looking to increase that FIVE-FOLD should he move to Old Trafford.

If United agreed to said demands, them Mbeumo would instantly become one of the club's highest earners during a transfer window where the Red Devils are looking to offload two of their most

handsomely paid players in Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

Article continues below Mbeumo is in the final year of his deal in west London and, while the club do hold an option, there is an acceptance at Brentford that he is likely to move on after

another stellar season in red and white.

Like Cunha, Mbeumo would arrive at United as an oven ready addition to Ruben Amorim's beleaguered squad given he is an established Premier League player. United finished 15th in the league

last year and, as such, are planning for a major squad overhaul.

Mbeumo's goal tally last season was among the best in the league with only Mo Salah, Erling Haaland and Alexander Isak bettering his 20 strikes. To put those returns into context, Bruno

Fernandes and Amad were United's joint-top scorers in the Premier League last season with eight goals.

While Brentford are open to cashing in on Mbeumo this summer, Thomas Frank, the Bees' head coach, has already stressed that their star forward will not leave on the cheap.

Article continues below “It is clear that if he is to be sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount,” Frank said recently. “It is a lot. Mucho. Really a lot. 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.”
