Manchester United were in Spain recently to hold meetings with a number of agents and clubs to assess their options in the transfer market this summer. While they are waiting for the arrival of Sporting Director Dan Ashworth from Newcastle United, they are laying some groundwork for possible deals, including for a surprise Real Madrid forward.
Ace for Relief, Manchester United have shown interest in veteran number nine Joselu Mato. The 34-year-old on loan from Espanyol was one of the players who thought it could be useful to offer a different option earlier. With plenty of experience, Premier League experience with Newcastle and Stoke City, good physicality, good hold-up play and a clinical edge, he fits the bill to be part of their forward line alongside Rasmus Hojlund , who looks like him. will be the starter.
The main obstacle will probably be Joselu himself, who prioritizes staying at Real Madrid next season. The former Castilla product is currently living the dream, and has received a lot of love from Carlo Ancelotti. United, for their part, would have to wait until Ashworth arrives to pull the trigger.
Blancos paid Espanyol €500,000 for his loan last summer when Los Pericos were relegated, and have an option to make the deal permanent for €1.5 million this summer. All signs point to the fact that they will, although there is a lot of competition with the potential arrival of Kylian Mbappe and the arrival of Endrick Felipe. Joselu has 13 goals and 3 assists in 38 appearances, but with an average of minutes, he contributes one goal every 100 minutes.
