Brentford attacker Mbeumo is said to have settled on United as his preferred destination, with the clubs in negotiations for his transfer. However, Mbeumo’s current boss Thomas Frank has been linked with the vacant managerial position at Tottenham following Ange Postecoglou ’s dismissal on Friday.

Manchester United has made a move for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, a person familiar with the situation told the Associated Press on Thursday. The person spoke on the condition of confidentiality because United has not publicly declared its interest.
