Bryan Mbeumo's wage demands to complete Man Utd transfer 'emerge' and they look like a typo
Bryan Mbeumo's apparent wage demands at Manchester United have been revealed.
After yet another dismal campaign, United are set to be active in the summer transfer window in a bid to provide Ruben Amorim with more quality.
So far, the Red Devils have already secured the signature of Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, in a deal worth a reported fee of £62.5 million.
Looking ahead, it has been claimed that Brentford star Mbeumo is leaning towards a move to Old Trafford.

"Despite interest from three clubs in Premier League, Mbeumo favours Man United move as @David_Ornstein reports. Negotiations club to club due to follow soon with Brentford."
Now, it has been reported that Mbeumo is looking to get a big increase on his Brentford wages in order to join United.
As reported by The Times, the winger would like to see his current wages increased to £250,000 if he leaves the Bees for United.
This would signal a huge jump from his current £50,000 per week deal at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Mbeumo was one of the standout players in the Premier League during the 24/25 season.
In 38 matches, the 25-year-old managed 20 goals and seven assists.
His goal tally in the Premier League was only bettered by Mohamed Salah (29), Alexander Isak (23) and Erling Haaland (22).
Delivering an update on the transfer saga involving Mbeumo and United on Wednesday, journalist Ben Jacobs wrote: "Manchester United are now in club-to-club talks with Brentford over Bryan Mbeumo. No bid yet.
"£50m+ required as Mbeumo has a one-year option Brentford can trigger, alongside the 12 months left on his current deal, meaning they don’t feel under pressure to sell."
He added: "Brentford currently using £62.5m Cunha fee as a valuation yardstick but #MUFC believe a lower fee is possible, especially with Mbeumo keen on the move."
