Luke Littler reacts as Bryan Mbeumo to Man United transfer update emerges
Luke Littler has reacted to a transfer update regarding Manchester United’s pursuit of Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo.
The winger has scored 20 Premier League goals this season, which has prompted Man United to set their sights on signing Mbeumo.
Brentford have finished 10th in the top-flight largely thanks to the Cameroon international, who has also created seven assists in the Premier League this term.
Mbeumo has scored two goals in his last two outings, a 3-2 defeat to Fulham on 18 May followed by a 1-1 draw with Wolves on Sunday, 25 May.
Littler reacts as talkSPORT provide update on Man United interest in Mbeumo
The Brentford man could prove to be a good addition to Ruben Amorim’s side who have endured a woeful campaign.
Meanwhile, talkSPORT wrote on Instagram [26 May]: “Man United have held talks with Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo, talkSPORT understands.
“The Bees value the Cameroonian star around the £50m mark, with Newcastle among other clubs interested. The Red Devils have already agreed a £62.5m deal for Matheus Cunha. They mean business this summer.”
The post attracted a like from darts world champion and Man United fan Littler, who will hope to retain his Premier League title on Thursday, 29 May.
Man United make contact with Ipswich Town star Liam Delap
After Man United finished just 15th in the Premier League, Amorim must recruit well this summer to steer the North West giants back towards the European places.
The Old Trafford side were also defeated in the Europa League final by Tottenham on Wednesday, 21 May, epitomising how poor their season has been.

But while Amorim’s men set their sights on the likes of Mbeumo and Cunha as part of a summer rebuild, they are also keen on Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap.
Despite the Tractor Boys’ relegation back to the Championship, the England Under-21 international has enjoyed a stellar campaign, scoring 12 Premier League goals.
Football Insider have exclusively reported that both Man United and Everton have made contact with Delap’s camp amid their interest in the 22-year-old.
If the Old Trafford club do sign Delap this summer, then he could prove to be an upgrade on Rasmus Hojlund, who has struggled in front of goal this term.
