Despite his growing frustration, Mbeumo remains committed to joining Manchester United. He is still hoping to make the move to Old Trafford, but the situation is taking longer than expected.
Brentford's management believes they are in a strong position to negotiate a higher transfer fee for Mbeumo. They point to the sales of Noni Madueke and Anthony Elanga, two players with similar profiles, as evidence of their bargaining power.
Chelsea are seeking £50 million from Arsenal for Madueke, while Nottingham Forest recently accepted a £55 million offer from Newcastle for Elanga. Both players scored fewer goals than Mbeumo last season, with the Cameroon international scoring 20 goals in 42 games across all competitions.
It's worth noting that Mbeumo's impressive goal-scoring record is likely to be a key factor in Manchester United's decision-making process. The team will need to weigh up the cost of signing him against the potential benefits of having a player of his quality in their squad.
As the transfer saga continues, it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Will Manchester United finally succeed in signing Mbeumo, or will the transfer fall through?
