Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly pulled out of the race to sign Brentford attacker Bryan Mbeumo, with the Cameroon international 'giving his word' to Manchester United.

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.
