Manchester United were thought to be in the driving seat to sign Bryan Mbeumo but former Brentford boss Thomas Frank now wants to convince the forward to join him at Tottenham

Thomas Frank's appointment at Tottenham has complicated transfer speculation involving Bryan Mbeumo and Manchester United.

Manchester United remain confident of finalising a deal for Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur. Mbeumo has told confidants he only wants to join United but well-placed sources say that has not deterred Spurs, who appointed Thomas Frank as their new coach last week.
