Manchester United are making moves in their attempts to bring new arrivals to their squad. La Liga club are keen on on-loan Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Contrary to speculation, the Premier League club isn’t making moves to sign a new striker this January. If Mateta comes into play, they could reconsider.
The Red Devils’ pursuit of Mateta is an indicator of their continued efforts to improve their forward options. The 26-year-old forward has shown flashes of brilliance in his short time in the Premier League. If the stars align, Manchester United will see him as a real future asset.
The club has been forced to confront difficult questions about emerging star Sam Mather. He has been unable to break through to the first team at Old Trafford due to a run of cautionary injuries. The 20-year-old enjoyed productive loans with Rochdale and Tranmere to help bolster his experience. He really broke through down in Milton Keynes and was rewarded with a call-up to the ranks of an England youth international.
Manchester United have now made an official bid to get Mather signed up. This action clearly indicates just how serious they are about holding on to the highly rated young player. Mather can still move to Turkish club Kayserispor. Multiple teams are frauding bank on the young forward.
Beyond advancing their pursuit of attacking players, Manchester United is looking ahead to the summer transfer window. Rumor has it the club will look to sign a defensive midfielder as their top target, but they are in the market for a defensive reinforcement. The pursuit of a new center-back led Manchester United to keeping a close eye on Stade Rennes central defender Jeremy Jacquet.
Jacquet recently signed a contract extension with Rennes until 2029, which may complicate Manchester United’s efforts to secure his signature. Kayserispor has been the most active suitor for Jacquet dating to last summer. This continued interest leads to even more competition for his services.
