Man United’s £40m Transfer Ping-Pong with Palace…
Manchester United is cooking up a plan to bring Crystal Palace’s own French fry, Jean-Philippe Mateta, to Old Trafford. As rumors sizzle in France, the Red Devils are eager to add more spice to their attack. Mateta’s been racking up goals like it’s his cardio, with 44 notches in his belt from just shy of 140 matches. Not bad, huh?
According to the grapevine, the French outlet L’Equipe whispers that United’s already chitchatting with Palace, possibly to sprinkle some goal-dust on Ruben Amorim’s journey. Currently, United’s dreams of climbing the Premier League standings are as wobbly as a jelly on a rollercoaster, parked at 14th place. Even their latest boy band, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, hasn’t rocked the charts like they’d hoped.
To make Mateta their dreamboat striker, United might need to shell out a whopping £40 million. But there’s a hiccup; Mateta recently had a not-so-gentle head-bump with Millwall’s goalkeeper, leaving him with an ear in stitches. But don’t fret! Palace’s doctors worked their magic, and he’s all set to binge-watch Netflix and recover. Stay tuned for updates and pass the popcorn!
