Manchester United is starting to realize their strikers are not good enough. They're eyeing Mateta from Palace to be signed in summer window. I know people might be rarely heard about his name, but he scored 12 goals combined with 2 assist. This is far better than hojlund (2 goals/22 matches)/Zirkzee (3 goals/27 matches).
who doesn't know mateta? dude was a beast at the just concluded Olympics with France. after watching him play at the Olympics, i fell in love with the energy and tenacity with which he attacks. people might call him average but if you work well with that dude, he can stand almost close to the level of Halland with time. the issue is not just about him, the united themselves are not even a good team that can manage an attacker or help bring the best out of him. even as we see this as a life for mateta, Manchester united can still make a mess out of him and he becomes an average to no performing attacker in their hands. all these transfer news that ends up working is getting annoying, if they can't get osimehn or a very good attacker, they should go for anyone and just add something to that attack that is currently nothing too special to write home about.
