Manchester United rusk losing out on Bryan Mbeumo if they do not act quickly as another Premier League club has emerged with serious interest in the Brentford forward.
Manchester United face competition from a Premier League rival for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo.
United had an initial £55 million bid rejected by Brentford earlier this week for the 25-year-old Cameroonian attacker but could see their deal hijacked if they do not act quickly.
While a second offer from United is expected, Dailymail reports that Tottenham Hotspur are also interested, presenting a significant challenge.

The North London club, who defeated United in last month's Europa League final, are keen to bolster their attacking options. Newcastle United, who secured Champions League football with a fifth-place finish in the Premier League, have also expressed interest, but Mbeumo reportedly favours a move to Old Trafford.

3 Signings Mikel Arteta's Arsenal Need to Finally End Their Decades-Long Title Drought
Arsenal need smart signings to finally win the Premier League; three key players could transform their squad and title chances.
Missing out on Champions League football after their Europa League final defeat cost United an estimated £100 million in revenue.
United are, however, believed to be offering a higher salary than Spurs, but Tottenham may hold an advantage. They are also reportedly targeting Brentford manager Thomas Frank, with whom Mbeumo has a strong relationship. Frank brought Mbeumo to Brentford from Troyes in 2019 for a fee of £5.8 million.

Since then, Mbeumo has become a key player for Brentford, scoring 70 goals in 242 appearances, including 42 in 136 Premier League matches.
He is seen as a crucial target for United, who are looking to rebuild their attack after a disappointing season in which they managed just 44 Premier League goals – the second-lowest tally of any team that avoided relegation.

Bryan Mbeumo’s Huge Salary Demands That Could Prove Stumbling Block to Man United Move
Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo has expressed a desire to join Man United over other clubs but his salary demands might prove too much for the cash-strapped Red Devils.
Mbeumo's contract expires next year, although Brentford have the option to extend it for a further 12 months.
He could become United's second signing of the summer, following the £62.5 million acquisition of Matheus Cunha.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank has acknowledged that the club would be willing to sell Mbeumo if a suitable offer is received.
