Man Utd learn asking price of Crystal Palace Jean-Philippe Mateta

• Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have just five between them

Manchester United will have to stump up £40m if they want to sign Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta

The Frenchman has emerged as a transfer target for the 13-time Premier League winners. After another fine season for Palace. Who continued their recent run of fine form with a 1-0 win over Ipswich Town on Saturday.

Mateta was absent for the game as he continues to recover from a nasty head injury. That required 25 stitches, but his return of 12 Premier League goals in 27 appearances has already caught the eye of United’s scouts.

United have been wildly inconsistent in what’s turn out to dreadful 2024/25 campaign. Ruben Amorim unable to reverse the slide first experience under the management of Erik ten Hag. The Red Devils currently sit 15th in the Premier League table and have a huge job on their hands just to finish inside the top half.

That United have They will need to เล่นเกมคาสิโน UFABET ทันสมัย ฝากถอนง่าย front up £40m to have any chance of landing 27-year-old Mateta. Who has scored more than twice the amount of Premier League goals than Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee combined.

It’s been well document. That United will need to sell to buy this summer. To comply with the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules and to allow them to reinvest money into off-field matters.
