Bryan Mbeumo is hot property this summer and that should come as no surprise after his best ever season in the Premier League.
The Cameroon international plundered 20 goals for Brentford in 2024/25 - a figure only bettered by Mohamed Salah, Alexander Isak and Erling Haaland - adding eight assists as well.
He has attracted interest from a number of top Premier League clubs, with Manchester United his likely destination given the Red Devils have pursued him heavily so far this summer.
But Tottenham Hotspur are also interested, with Thomas Frank's move from Brentford to N17 giving them something of an advantage having spent the last six seasons as the frontman's manager.
Mbeumo wants to make the next step in his career and is understood to favour a move to Old Trafford, with The Athletic reporting that he has already informed Brentford - and Tottenham and Thomas Frank - of his desire to move to Manchester United, should a deal be agreed.
Spurs have moved on to other targets, with the likes of Eberechi Eze strongly linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium from Crystal Palace.
Manchester United have already had a £55 million bid rejected by the Bees, which comprised an initial £45m with £10m in add-ons.
United have since gone back and offered a fee of around £60m, according to The Times, but it is understood that Brentford are looking for a figure in the region of £62.5m that United shelled out to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolves.
