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.

Mbeumo has emerged as a key target for United, who are thought to have bid as much as £60 million ($81.3 million) for the Cameroon international, but Spurs have emerged as rival suitors following the arrival of former Bees manager Thomas Frank at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
