According to Prominent Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano Manchester United Reaches Out to a major Bundesliga club in Bid to Secure ‘Record-Breaking’ Striker as a better option for Zirkzee and Hojlund.

Fabrizio Romano: Manchester United Contact Bayern Over Loan Move for Mathys Tel

Manchester United have reportedly reached out to Bayern Munich to discuss the conditions of a potential loan deal for teenage forward Mathys Tel, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Tel has been linked with an exit from Bayern this month, having requested a move due to limited playing time under Vincent Kompany. The 19-year-old is eager to join a club where he can feature more regularly.

Now, it seems United have expressed interest in securing his services.

United Show Interest in Tel Amid Competition

Romano reports that Manchester United have inquired about the ‘record-breaking’ forward, seeking updates on the possibility of a loan move to Old Trafford. With the transfer deadline approaching, the Red Devils are working to bolster Ruben Amorim’s squad.

Although Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have struggled with consistency this season, United remain hopeful that their investments in young talent will pay off. Bringing in Tel would provide Amorim with an additional attacking option to support his out-of-form strikers. Despite limited game time, Tel’s lack of goals this season is more reflective of his minutes on the pitch rather than his ability.

Tel’s 2024/25 Season Stats:

• Bundesliga: 8 appearances | 0 goals | 1 assist
• Champions League: 3 appearances | 0 goals | 0 assists
• DFB-Pokal: 3 appearances | 0 goals | 0 assists

However, United face stiff competition for the Frenchman’s signature. Premier League rivals, including Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, are also monitoring the situation, with Spurs reportedly ahead in negotiations.

Landing Tel would be a significant move for United, but they will need to act swiftly and convincingly to bring him to Old Trafford.
