Brentford director of football Phil Giles says Bryan Mbeumo would be happy to stay at the club if a deal cannot be agreed with Manchester United.

The two clubs have held talks, and Mbeumo is said to prefer a move to Old Trafford despite added interest from Tottenham, who have appointed his former boss, Thomas Frank.

Sky Sports News understands Brentford want in excess of £65m for Mbeumo and United have so far offered a package rising to £62.5m.

Speaking exclusively to Sky Sports News, Giles explained that there is a deal to be done; however, it must be “right” for Brentford.

“There is significant interest in Bryan. His current preference has been well publicised, ” Giles said.

“He had an unbelievable season, and we expected interest in him. From what I understand, he is also, if needs be, happy to stay at Brentford next year as well.

“We’ve spoken to Bryan and his representatives. It’s not a given that he’s going to depart this summer.

“If we get the right offer, there is the potential for a deal to be done, but there is only so much we can say now on that.”

Andrews: Mbeumo staying is the ideal scenario

Speaking for the first time since taking the helm at Brentford, Keith Andrews echoed Giles’ stance on Mbeumo, saying it would be “ideal” if the forward was to stay.

“It’s a massive boost if he stays,” Andrews said.

“He’s such a talented player. Someone I enjoyed working with, I worked closely with him last season around set pieces, so that will be the ideal scenario.

“I want the most talented players in the building. I’m very understanding of the way football and this football club work when it comes to transfers, but ultimately, I want the best players in the building.”

Sky Sports News understands Brentford captain Christian Norgaard is expected to have a medical this week after Arsenal agreed a deal £15m with the Bees to sign the midfielder last week. Andrews heaped praise on the Danish midfielder ahead of an “amazing move” for the 31-year-old.

“Of course, he will be a miss,” Andrews said.

“It’s a move for him that would be amazing to go to a club of that magnitude and play Champions League football. I would miss him as a person because I value him very highly.

“Christian has been pivotal in the recent history of the football club; he’s worn the armband now for years. He’s someone that I admire, really understand his quality and what he brings both on and off the pitch.”

The potential departure of Mbeumo and Norgaard’s impending move to north London will leave Brentford with gaps to fill in their squad. Asked about whether the club will look to the market to bolster positions, Andrews said:

“It’s always been about players in the building for me; that has to be the priority. There are players in the building now that have huge scope to kick onto new levels. I firmly believe that and the club has also demonstrated every season, if players leave, players will come in and the trust I have in that department is really strong.”
