Currently earning £50,000-a-week at Brentford, Mbeumo has told United he wants £250,000-a-week to sign for them.
After scoring 20 Premier League goals last season, the Cameroon forward has attracted interest from several top clubs, including Arsenal and Newcastle.
Despite the competition, Mbeumo has made it clear his preference is a move to Old Trafford under manager Ruben Amorim.
United are preparing an approach to Brentford, who value their star player at over £60million despite his contract ending next year.
The overall cost of Mbeumo’s transfer, combining fee and wages, makes it a significant investment for the Manchester club.
His goal tally was only bettered by Salah, Haaland and Isak, showcasing his top-level attacking quality in England, reports Mirror.
Amorim sees Mbeumo as a crucial part of the rebuild after United’s disappointing 15th-place finish last season.
With Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford on high wages and uncertain futures, Mbeumo’s arrival could reshape United’s frontline.
Brentford, though ready to sell, will not let him leave cheaply, with Thomas Frank standing firm on the player’s value.
