Manchester United have failed with a new bid to sign Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, who is reported to have confirmed to all clubs involved in the transfer saga, including Tottenham Hotspur, of his continued desire to move to Old Trafford.

Manchester United have had an improved bid worth up to £62.5m for Bryan Mbeumo rejected by Brentford. United have bid £55m plus £7.5m in add-ons for the 25-year-old. They had a bid of £45m plus up to £10m in add-ons for the Cameroon forward turned down earlier this month.
