Guardian: Bees raise Mbemo s asking price to 70 million pounds, Manchester United refuses to be kidnapped

July 16th The Guardian reported that Manchester United's bid for Mbemo was stalled as Brentford raised the player's valuation to nearly £70 million, while Sir Ratcliff insisted that he was unwilling to pay the forward more than £65 million in the club's valuation.

Mbemo has expressed his willingness to join Manchester United to Brentford. At the end of June, Ratcliff and football director Jason Wilcox believed that a total £65 million offer could lead to a deal, and the Bees also privately hinted that a physical examination was about to take place. But the change in the other side's position was boycotted by Manchester United's management, who refused to be kidnapped and decided to remain patient. The reason why Brentford is tough is that although Mbemo's contract expires next summer, the club has the option of renewing the contract for one year.

If Ratcliff and Wilcox, who are in charge of Manchester United football operations, decide to raise their offer, they may need to first obtain funds by selling or renting out one of Rashford, Garnacho, Anthony, Sancho and Malaysia. Manchester United claims that all of these players have applied for leaving the team and the club will hear the offer.

coach Amorin also aimed at a center and signed Cunha from Wolves with only £62.5 million in liquidated damages this summer. With Arsenal only more than four weeks left before the Premier League opening game Arsenal visited Old Trafford, Manchester United's pre-season will start against Leeds United in Stockholm this Saturday. The team will then fly to Chicago to start the US trip, against West Ham United, Bournemouth and Everton.
