Overview

• Manchester United’s latest bid of £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons remains below Brentford’s £65m asking price, leaving talks unresolved.
• Brentford have vowed to sanction the departure of only one of their main strikers—Bryan Mbeumo or Yoane Wissa—to protect their attacking core.
• Mbeumo has signaled a preference for Manchester United but is ready to stay in West London if his club’s terms are not met.
• The Bees have identified Ipswich winger Omari Hutchinson as a potential replacement for Mbeumo, though no formal approach has been made.
• Owner Matthew Benham is reportedly preparing to sell a significant equity stake worth over £400m, bolstering the club’s transfer and Financial Fair Play strategy.
