Manchester United have made three signings this summer, but only one has been a statement signing that the club is looking for.
The club is working towards a deal for Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo but has already had two bids rejected.
As United have reportedly been edging closer to securing the Cameroonian, new reports from The Guardian suggest that Brentford have raised their valuation of Mbeumo to £70m.
United were reportedly planning their next bid for around £65m, and it's unlikely the club will go higher.
Should United pay closer to £70m for Mbeumo?
Mbeumo has proven he can compete in the Premier League, which is something Ruben Amorim is looking for.

The winger scored 20 goals and had seven assists in the league this season, while Man United's top scorers, Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo, had eight goals each.
United have five players ready to leave this summer, but there have been few to no takers for the players. A boost in funds from a sale could be the driving force that United need to finally secure Mbeumo.
Brentford are looking at Omari Hutchinson as a potential replacement for Mbeumo, which could be a sign that the club is prepared to lose their star man.
Regardless, United are desperate for new players in their attack, and Mbeumo has what it takes to give the club a much-needed boost.
