Manchester United is reportedly in discussions with Crystal Palace regarding a transfer for striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Also, Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham has emerged as a potential target for Old Trafford. This upcoming transfer window is shaping up to be pivotal for United as they look to strengthen their squad considerably.
Transfer Targets: Mateta and Bellingham
According to reports, Manchester United has been informed that securing Mateta will require an investment of £40 million. The French forward has impressed this season, netting 15 goals following a breakout campaign last year. Talks between United and Crystal Palace are in progress, but United’s coach Ruben Amorim must first raise funds before proceeding with Mateta’s acquisition. Furthermore, players such as Kobbie Mainoo, Rasmus Højlund, and Alejandro Garnacho have been connected with possible exits from Manchester United, which could help facilitate funds.

In addition to Mateta, Manchester United is keeping an eye on English midfielder Jobe Bellingham, who commands attention alongside other Premier League teams. The younger sibling of Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham, Jobe has garnered interest due to his performances at Sunderland, especially if the team does not achieve promotion this season. Other Championship talents, such as Hayden Hackney from Middlesbrough and Chris Rigg also from Sunderland, are on the radar for possible transfers to Old Trafford.
