"I do think Manchester United were interested in him, Ruben Amorim was big-time interested in him. But I just don't think United could have done it there and then because they spent a lot of money in the summer bringing in Sesko, Mbeumo and Cunha. I think Mateta's options will be better in the summer. I don't think a lot of players get the clubs they want in January."
"As recently reported by Fabrizio Romano, it looks like Mateta is pushing to leave Selhurst Park this month, with Aston Villa and Juventus both interested in him. See below for Romano's post on X about Mateta, who has also been linked with Man Utd by Sky Sports ??? Jean-Philippe Mateta and his camp have informed Crystal Palace about desire to leave the club. Following talks with Aston Villa and Juventus, Mateta hopes for January move with decision now in Palace hands. Negotiations remain ongoing."
Jean-Philippe Mateta and his camp have informed Crystal Palace of a desire to leave the club. Aston Villa and Juventus have held talks and are interested in a January move, with negotiations ongoing and the decision in Palace's hands. Ruben Amorim was eager to bring Mateta to Manchester United while he was in charge, but United spent heavily in the summer on Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo. Mateta's options may be stronger in the summer transfer window. Clubs often sign strikers in January to reinforce squads rather than fulfil long-term transfer preferences.
