Manchester United dey reportedly dey consider to sign Crystal Palace attacker Jean-Philippe Mateta during next summer transfer window. Mateta don dey linked with Old Trafford before for the recent market, but di Red Devils instead carry Benjamin Sesko come, and di Slovenian striker don score for him last two appearances for di club.
Sesko don become di starting striker for Man United now, especially after Rasmus Hojlund don leave for Napoli, while Joshua Zirkzee never dey get much football this season and him fit comot for January.
Hojlund dey technically on loan for Napoli but e go join di Italian champions permanently after di season, so Man United go short for di centre-forward position if Zirkzee waka go.
Matheus Cunha fit play through di middle, and Chido Obi na big prospect, but di Red Devils dey plan to sign another striker to strengthen dat area of di pitch.
Zirkzee Exit Fit Force Man United to Move for Mateta
Al-Qadsiah striker Mateo Retegui dey for di club radar, but reports from Spain talk say Mateta still dey firmly for Man United shortlist for next summer. Crystal Palace reportedly go dey look for at least £43m for Mateta, wey don talk say e wan play Champions League football one day.
“Na natural thing, every ambitious player wan reach dat level,” Mateta tell RMC Sport recently. “Especially when you don reach di national team and all di players wey dey around you dey play Champions League and dey win di biggest trophies.”
Mateta don already win two trophies for Palace, including FA Cup last season, and e dey France squad now, scoring him first goal for di national team just for him second appearance against Iceland on Monday night.
Di 28-year-old fit go World Cup next summer, and e fit land high-profile move to Man United before or after di tournament.
Would Mateta Be Smart Signing for Man United?
Mateta don score 50 goals and register 11 assists in 164 appearances for Palace, including 40 goals and nine assists in 137 Premier League games.
Di Frenchman don score 30 Premier League goals for him last two full seasons, and e don start this campaign well, netting four times in 12 appearances.
Man United don sign big-money striker this summer with Sesko, but if Zirkzee waka go, dem go dey short for di centre-forward position. Signing Mateta go make sense because e dey proven performer for England top flight, and e fit give Sesko di support wey dem need for attack.
