It seems that everyone has given up on Manchester United due to their slow progress in this summer window, they made progress in the Mbeumo deal by offer figures close to Brentford's valuation yet no ones talking about it, Manchester United have submitted a third bid of about £65m + £5m as add ons which is equivalent to the £70m package Brentford are requesting for. That offer is enough for the deal to be concluded this week, it's very fair enough and if Brentford fail to accept it this time around then it's best for Manchester United to pull out and focus on other options instead of dragging it further, it's up to a month and this deal is supposed to have been concluded before they leave for preseason.

After seeing how much Ten Hag bought and now everyone wants to squeeze as much money out of United as possible.
Transfers of Heylund, Anthony, Zirkise shows to all EPL clubs that they can sell their players to United at a good markup.
Mbeumo is a good forward, but the fact that he scored 20 goals once in his career in a season does not say that he is worth 70 million pounds.
Maybe it's better for United to get out of this transfer race with Mbeumo and buy 2-3 young and promising players for 20-30 million.
