The Daily Mail reported that Manchester United poached Brentford youth training director Stephen Torpe, making the next confrontation between the two teams even more gunpowder.
It is very difficult for Manchester United to challenge Brentford away today, and the rift between the two sides will add to the smell of the weekend's showdown.
This game will be the battle for Mbomo to return to his old club, and it is also the first time that the two sides have met since a dispute over Mbomo's transfer this summer.
Brentford believes that Manchester United provides the Cameroon international with contract treatment better than Tottenham and Newcastle, but is trying to make up for the funds by lowering transfer fees. After two quotations were rejected, Mbermo, who always publicly expressed his willingness to join Manchester United, finally landed in Old Trafford with an agreement of £65 million fixed transfer fee + £6 million floating clauses.
In addition, the Post disclosed that Manchester United poached Brentford youth training director Stephen Torpe to replace Nick Cox at the Carrington base, but it is reported that the negotiation friction between the two clubs on this matter is much smaller than when Mbermo transferred.
Tolpe will officially take up his new position before the weekend game, and Cox will leave after nine years of playing for Manchester United and become technical director of Everton Club.
