Manchester United get green light for Bryan Mbeumo transfer after Thomas Frank issues warning over fee | OneFootball

The winger has made a decision on which club he wants to join after scoring 20 league goals

Brentford manager Thomas Frank has already warned Manchester United that any deal to sign Bryan Mbeumo this summer will not be cheap.

Although both clubs as well as Tottenham - another reported interested suitor - can offer Mbeumo Champions League football next season, he favours a move to Old Trafford if a deal can be agreed.

According to the Athletic, Mbeumo has decided he wants to join Man Utd who are now expected to open talks with Brentford in bid to sign forward this summer.

This development will not come as a shock to Frank as he is expecting bids for Mbeumo, but he has also said an exit will only come with a high price.

"It is clear that if he is to be sold, it must be for a nice, nice amount," Frank said of Mbeumo to Viaplay. "It is a lot. Mucho. Really a lot.

"Then it is clear that it is impossible to replace him one for one. It cannot be done. There is a reason why he costs x number of million pounds, and we do not have x number of million pounds to buy for.

"I would say that I would be surprised if a lot of big clubs don’t look at him. I would be surprised with what he has to offer.

“How many wingers score 20 goals for a mid-table club? And then with seven assists plus his work ethic. And his character. All these things mean that he has a lot, so he is a good player."
