In preparation for a summer transfer, Ruben Amorim has already begun the process of putting things in motion, which means that Manchester United has begun negotiations to sign a Premier League star.
By signing Patrick Dorgu from Lecce and Ayden Heaven from Arsenal during the January transfer window, Manchester United was able to make two important acquisitions.
In addition, the club intends to strengthen their roster during the summer, when the transfer window will once again be open.
Many players, including a star forward who has reportedly expressed his desire to leave his club this summer, have been linked with a move to Old Trafford. He is one of the players who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Nevertheless, it would appear that Manchester United has a number of players on their wish list, and Jean-Philippe Mateta is also on the club’s radar this time around.
It has been reported by the French publication L’Equipe that Manchester United has already begun negotiations to acquire the Crystal Palace forward.
However, Palace has agreed to a substantial asking price of forty million pounds.
In light of Rasmus Hojlund’s success at Manchester United, the club is rumoured to be looking to acquire a new forward. Hojlund came to Manchester United from Atalanta for a purchase price of 72 million pounds.
Although he scored 16 goals in the previous season, he has only scored six goals across all competitions this season, including only two goals in the league played out of a total of 22 matches.
A prolific end to the campaign was experienced by Mateta during the previous season, and he has enjoyed a stunning term this time around. Mateta still has a contract that extends until 2027.
Over the course of the previous season, he scored 19 goals across all competitions, and he has already scored 15 goals this season.
The 27-year-old’s performance has caught the attention of Manchester United, who are keeping a close eye on his situation in preparation for a possible transfer during the summer.
However, due to the unfortunate collision that the Frenchman had with Millwall custodian Liam Roberts, who was shown a red card for his reckless challenge, the Frenchman will be sidelined for a period of time.
However, he is making a good recovery, and Oliver Glasner is hopeful that he will be able to play after the international break that will take place this month.
“Mateta is doing well,” as stated by Glasner on Friday. “He is safely at home and making a full recovery.
He did not sustain any fractures or concussions, and his recovery from the massive wound is proceeding as we had anticipated.
The following week, he will accompany us to Marbella, where he will only be training on his own. In the event that everything goes according to plan, he will be available to play against Fulham [in the FA Cup quarterfinal that they will play on March 29].
“We lose JP for this game, we can’t play him tomorrow [Saturday], but it’s not too bad.”
