BRENTFORD are demanding Manchester United cough up £65million for Bryan Mbeumo.
The Red Devils saw their second bid of £55m before add-ons of £7.5m knocked back on Friday, but remain confident of striking a deal.


United had already seen an opening bid of £45m rejected.
Brentford are now holding out for a total package of £65m, meaning there is only a small gap in valuations at this point.
As SunSport revealed earlier this month, Mbeumo’s preference has always been a move to Old Trafford.
That is despite departed Bees boss Thomas Frank wanting to take the Cameroon international to Tottenham.
United have already spent £62.5m on Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha, who joined from Wolves as their first signing of a crucial summer.
Talks are now continuing between United and Brentford over Mbeumo‘s move, a deal which would smash the Bees club record sale.
Ivan Toney‘s £40m move to Al-Ahli in Saudi Arabia last summer is the biggest sale in the club’s history.
Mbeumo’s departure will be yet another challenge for new Bees boss Keith Andrews.

Andrews, 44, was appointed as Frank’s successor on Friday, promoted from set-piece coach to head coach.
As well as stepping into Frank’s shoes, the former Republic of Ireland international will have to deal with the departure of the top scorer and captain.
While Mbeumo is dreaming of Old Trafford, skipper Christian Norgaard is joining Arsenal in a surprise £9.3m deal.
Mbeumo’s goals will be missed next season as he notched 20 times in the Premier League last term.
His record put him as one of the most prolific players in the division.
Only Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland outscored him.
The last time a United player reached at least 20 goals in a Premier League campaign was Robin van Persie.

The Dutchman scored 26 times to help Sir Alex Ferguson win the 2012/13 in his final season in charge of the club.
Mbeumo made the switch to England in 2019 when he joined Brentford from French outfit Troyes.
He cost the Bees a then-record transfer fee of £5.8m as he helped the club reach the Premier League in his second season.
In total, he has made 242 appearances for the club and scored 70 goals and provided 51 assists in all competitions.
Norgaard, meanwhile, also arrived at Brentford in 2019 as he joined from Fiorentina.
The 31-year-old has been ever-present in the club’s midfield and is one of the most reliable members of the team.
The Dane will face an awkward reunion with Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli once he completes the move.
The Brazilian accused Norgaard of trying to break his leg during the Bees’ visit to North London back in April.
