Their new bid, worth £65 million plus £5 million in add-ons, marks a £15 million increase from their initial £55 million proposal.
The Cameroon international has told Brentford he only wants a move to Old Trafford, despite interest from Spurs, Arsenal, and Newcastle.
Tottenham hoped to lure Mbeumo through former Brentford boss Thomas Frank, but the winger has chosen United as his preferred destination.
United’s attacking struggles last season—just 44 league goals—make Mbeumo a top priority for sporting director Jason Wilcox this summer.
The 25-year-old scored 20 goals last term and has 70 total goals in 242 games since arriving at Brentford in 2019, reports Mail Online.
Brentford have remained firm, rejecting earlier bids, but United are confident their latest offer matches the club’s expectations for the player.
If completed, Mbeumo would become United’s third signing after Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon, with a £250,000-a-week salary reportedly discussed.
United are keen to finalize the deal before their pre-season intensifies with friendlies against Leeds, West Ham, Bournemouth, and others.
Former defender Rio Ferdinand urged United to avoid “egg on the face” by securing Mbeumo before the transfer window closes.
