From France: United handed major boost in signing 'record-breaking' star before deadline

Manchester United remain in the race to sign one of Bayern Munich’s prized assets, according to RMC Sport journalist Fabrice Hawkins.

The Red Devils are aiming to bolster their forward department before the transfer window closes on Monday night.

The club are interested in signing Mathys Tel on loan from Bayern Munich, and the 19-year-old has not ruled out a late move.

Hawkins reports that Tel has rejected Tottenham Hotspur’s permanent offer. He prefers staying at Bayern than joining Spurs.

The reputed journalist added that it will be either United or Arsenal or he will stay with Bayern for the rest of the campaign.

Chelsea and Aston Villa are no longer in the race to land the talented wonderkid.

United could make loan swoop for Tel

The Red Devils have misfired in front of goal this campaign. Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have failed to find consistency.

Manager Ruben Amorim may want a fresh solution from the transfer window. Tel would be a quality acquisition on a short-term deal.

The ‘record-breaking‘ youngster is blessed with plenty of pace and has good dribbling skills.

He can play on either wing or lead the attack on his own. Tel showed his versatility on Wednesday by operating as a left wing-back.

In our view, United could succeed in signing the youngster on a straight-loan deal, provided they can guarantee him regular minutes.

The club can assess his performances for the rest of the season to find out whether he can adapt to the demands of the Premier League.

United could lodge a permanent transfer bid in the summer if he were to succeed.
