He ruined his season, and now he might ruin his plans for the next one. Manchester United, if the rumors from English media turn out to be true, could face serious competition in the race for Bryan Mbeumo’s signature, as Tottenham might enter the picture under the directive of their potential new manager, Thomas Frank.After six years at Brentford, Mbeumo has made up his mind – he wants to move on, and the numbers from the recently concluded season suggest he’s ready for the next step in his career. The Cameroonian’s impressive performances for the London club have attracted attention from much more ambitious and bigger clubs, ranging from Arsenal and Newcastle to Tottenham, but he had given the edge in negotiations to the historically biggest one – Manchester United.Manchester adding another African starOr at least that was the case until recently, when the possibility emerged that Brentford manager Thomas Frank could take over at Tottenham. That position has been vacant since the Europa League-winning club sacked Ange Postecoglou, and after Roberto De Zerbi turned them down, Tottenham’s management focused entirely on Frank.The Danish coach has reportedly already informed Brentford that he would continue his career just down the road, at the new White Hart Lane. Along the way, he is said to have presented an interesting idea to his potential future club – that he would like to have an old acquaintance with him at his new job – Mbeumo.🚨🚨 Tottenham are ready to hijack Man Utd’s £60m Bryan Mbeumo transfer![@reluctantnicko] pic.twitter.com/teCE79QO5E— HotspurReports. (@hotspurreports) June 7, 2025 If this is indeed true, and Tottenham decides to listen to him, they will have to act fast, as Manchester United is already actively working on bringing him in. A few days ago, reports stated that United had already submitted an initial offer of 45 millions plus 10 millions in add-ons, which Brentford rejected.It’s worth noting that Tottenham has already spent 85 millions on right-wingers over the past two years, signing Wilson Odobert and Brennan Johnson, so it remains to be seen whether they will even enter a bidding war with United. However, if they do decide to try, a call from the man under whom Mbeumo scored 20 and assisted seven goals in the Premier League this past season could prompt him to reconsider where he wants to continue his career. There’s also the (non-)Champions League factor, which is not insignificant.##NAJAVA_MECA_8968313##
