Man Utd try to derail Spurs' move for Bayern star with bid for striker

Manchester United are hoping Mathys Tel delays signing with Tottenham, giving them time to prepare a late bid for the Bayern Munich striker.

Tel has become one of the most sought-after young forwards in world football, attracting interest from United, Chelsea, and Spurs.

Tottenham appear to be in pole position, with reports suggesting they have already agreed a deal with Bayern.

However, personal terms remain unsigned, leaving the door open for a potential hijack.

According to GiveMeSport, Tel is keen on joining United and working under Ruben Amorim, prompting the club to push for extra time to submit their own offer.

The 19-year-old forward has played just 253 Bundesliga minutes this season, starting only twice.

He is now looking for a club that guarantees him regular playing time, which could influence his final decision.

At Tottenham, Tel would likely slot straight into the starting XI, given Dominic Solanke’s injury.

At United, however, he would face competition from Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee, potentially limiting his minutes.

Despite this, Tel is reportedly still interested in the Old Trafford move, and if United can put together a convincing offer, they could still beat Spurs to his signature.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are preparing a bid for Alejandro Garnacho, with the Blues confident they can meet United’s asking price.

Napoli are also monitoring the situation, ready to make an offer if the price drops slightly.

Additionally, Marcus Rashford’s future remains uncertain, with Juventus intensifying their pursuit of the England international.

Barcelona are also still in the race, though they may need to offload Ansu Fati before making a formal approach.

With United weighing potential outgoings and pursuing Tel, the final days of the transfer window could see major moves at Old Trafford.
