Manchester United are reportedly seeking to reinforce their attacking options after the departure of Marcus Rashford by pursuing potential deals for Mathys Tel and Christopher Nkunku before the transfer window closes.
According to ESPN, the Red Devils are working hard to finalize these deals, aiming to strengthen their squad ahead of the new challenges. This comes after Rashford’s confirmed move to Aston Villa on loan, and Antony's departure to Real Betis on a six-month loan deal. With these changes in the squad, United manager Ruben Amorim is focused on adding reinforcements to his attacking force.
Sources indicate that Manchester United have been in negotiations with Bayern Munich over a loan deal for French forward Mathys Tel. However, the talks have encountered some challenges, but Tel himself remains eager to make the move to Old Trafford and is pushing for the transfer to materialize.

The French international has struggled to find his best form at Chelsea following his £52 million transfer from RB Leipzig in 2023, and a potential move to United could offer him a fresh start. There is also speculation that Alejandro Garnacho could be included in the transfer arrangement, potentially heading to Stamford Bridge as part of the deal.
