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).
This is smart move, selling Hojlund/Zirkzee, which was flop, then replace it with Mateta. Mateta is good enough as a striker, and has huge potential to be explored.
Seriously? Manchester United, a huge and popular team, is interested with unknown player?
He's not even able to reach France senior team, even though he's already playing with Crystal Palace for 4 years, it's a proof if he's just a mediocre player. If Manchester United want to buy a player, buy the top 20 players instead of mediocre or one season wonder.
I think Mateta can have such high goals because of Eze.
Mateta was not unknown player. Mateta was quite popular, and importantly, he's not bang average compared Hojlun or Zirkzee. Mateta's current season total goals is far greater than Hojlung + Zirkze combined goals.
I'd rather pay Mateta if he has priced only 20 millions instead of wasted almost 100 millions for two average strikers from serie a.
