Manchester United’s focus is squarely on the upcoming transfer window, with Ruben Amorim keen to add firepower to a squad that has struggled for consistent goals this season.
The club is already linked with several attacking options as they look to revamp their frontline ahead of next season.
Alongside ongoing interest in Matheus Cunha, United are exploring other options to bring in a proven goal-scorer.
As talks continue, they are also keeping an eye on Premier League stars who could help the team regain its competitive edge.
With the summer window fast approaching, United are expected to make significant moves to secure a top-tier forward.
Reports have emerged from CaughtOffside that United are seriously pursuing Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, with initial contact already made.
The 27-year-old Frenchman has had an impressive season at Selhurst Park, contributing 20 goal involvements — 17 goals and 3 assists — across all competitions.
His standout performance came recently in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal, where he scored a stunning goal at the Emirates, further solidifying his reputation as one of the Premier League’s most efficient strikers.

Sources close to the situation have confirmed that United’s interest in Jean-Philippe Mateta is genuine, with the club identifying him as one of their top targets.
Alongside Matheus Cunha and Victor Osimhen, Mateta has been placed on the club’s shortlist for a striker capable of providing the necessary firepower for next season.
However, the competition for his signature is fierce.
Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Serie A giants Juventus are reportedly keeping an eye on the Frenchman, with both clubs seeking replacements for their star strikers.
Palace, aware that they may lose Mateta, are already in discussions to secure Borussia Monchengladbach’s Alassane Plea as a potential replacement.
With his Premier League experience and ability to deliver consistent performances, Mateta could be an ideal fit for Amorim’s attacking setup, providing a much-needed upgrade over current options like Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund.
As the summer transfer window approaches, United’s ability to land Mateta could signal their intent to challenge for top honors next season, while also ensuring they don’t miss out on other key targets like Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi, who could also be on the move from Palace.
