Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, with talks already underway.
The Eagles have set a £40 million price tag on the in-form forward, making negotiations challenging.
Mateta has been one of the Premier League’s most clinical strikers in 2025, scoring eight goals since the start of the year, just 2 goals behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
With 15 goals across all competitions, including 12 in the league, the Frenchman has become a key target for Manchester United and will be viewed as an instant improvement on available options to manager Ruben Amorim.
The Red Devils are eager to bolster their attack, particularly after the underwhelming performances of £72 million signing Rasmus Hojlund, who has scored just two league goals.
Amorim is desperate for a new striker to revitalize the team’s fortunes, with the Red Devils currently languishing in 14th place in the league.
