Jean-Philippe Mateta's stance on his next club hands Man United major advantage ahead of January
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readManchester United are considering a move for Jean-Philippe Mateta as they seek a new striker, facing competition from Nottingham Forest and European clubs.
From the source
A striker signing should sit right at the top of Manchester United’s agenda in 2027. Yes, the prevailing suggestion is that the club will prioritise an overhaul of the defence next year.
Yet Benjamin Šeško’s recurring injury problems, combined with the fact that the club has no other out-and-out centre-forward, leave INEOS with little realistic choice but to secure another top-class striker.
Over the past few transfer windows, the Red Devils have repeatedly been linked with such forwards. One name whose links refuse to fade is Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta.
