Mbeumo is set to earn up to £200,000 a week at Old Trafford, a sizeable increase on what he currently earns at Brentford. He'll become the second signing of Ruben Amorim's first summer in charge at United.

Despite that, United have started this summer's transfer window on the front foot. After wrapping up the signing of Wolves star Matheus Cunha earlier this month, they are now closing in on Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo.

Throughout, Brentford are said to have been using United’s signing of Cunha, who joined for £62.5 million ($85.1 million) earlier in the transfer window, as a benchmark, but The Standard were the first to reveal that Brentford are now chasing that exact fee for themselves.
