Manchester United’s Mbeumo push stalls after Brentford raise price towards £70m
Ratcliffe values forward at £65m and intends to be patient
Brentford regard position as firm with option on contract
Manchester United’s push to buy Bryan Mbeumo has stalledafter Brentford raised their valuation to closer to £70m, with Sir Jim Ratcliffe intent on not being pushed into paying more than his club’s £65m valuation of the forward.
Mbeumo has told Brentford he wants to join United, and at the end of June Ratcliffe and Jason Wilcox, his director of football, believed a £65m package would land the 25-year-old. Brentford also privately indicated a medical was expected imminently.
