Manchester United remain confident of finalising a deal for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur. Mbeumo has told confidants he only wants to join United but well-placed sources say that has not deterred Spurs, who appointed Thomas Frank as their new coach last week.

It had been reported that Spurs landing Thomas Frank as their new manager might’ve helped persuade Mbeumo to snub United and join the north Londoners instead. Despite talk of Spurs submitting a £70million offer for the attacker, it’s suggested Mbeumo’s priority remains fixed on a move to the 20-time champions.
