Manchester United have been searching for new attacking options after scoring only 44 goals in the Premier League last season, fewer than many other teams. They have already signed Matheus Cunha, who joined the club after his £62.5 million release clause was triggered.

United have made two bids for Mbeumo, but the club's low offers have slowed down the negotiations. As a result, Mbeumo's move to Manchester United ahead of the new season is facing uncertainty.

Brentford's director of football, Phil Giles, recently stated that Mbeumo would be happy to stay at the club if they cannot agree on a fee with Manchester United. This could become a possibility if the negotiations continue to stall.

Brentford is reportedly seeking a fee in excess of £60 million for Mbeumo, who scored 20 goals and provided 7 assists in the Premier League last season. The winger is also said to be encouraged by the wage package offered by Manchester United, which is a positive sign for the potential transfer.

However, the club's low bids have caused frustration and uncertainty around Mbeumo's future. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United will be able to agree on a suitable fee for the winger.
