Man United target Bryan Mbeumo refuses to address future as he breaks silence on Thomas Frank exit

Mbeumo continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United this summer

Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo has refused to address his future this summer as he continues to be linked with a summer move to Manchester United.

United submitted an opening offer of £45million with a further £10million in add-ons for Mbeumo, but it fell short of Brentford’s valuation and talks are continuing between the clubs.

Mbeumo is thought to be keen to join the club and United would like to wrap up a deal for Mbeumo as soon as possible so he can report for the start of pre-season at Carrington in July.

But Tottenham are also interested in the Cameroon international and his relationship with his former Bees manager Thomas Frank, who has just been appointed as Spurs boss, could prove to be a crucial bargaining tool given his development under the Dane in West London.

And while being interviewed ahead of the F1 Canadian Grand Prix, Mbeumo respectfully asked not to be asked about his future this summer, but did answer questions on Frank’s move to Tottenham.

“He has done so much for me,” Mbeumo told Sky Sports.

“He has trusted me from the start, developed the team so well, developed me as a human and a player so much and I wish him all the best and wish he is going to do well.

“He knows everything. He is really smart, he knows where he wants to bring the team and how he wants to play and he has been fantastic for Brentford.

“He is going to have some time to adapt. He will have more games and more expectation but I am sure he is going to do well.”
