Mathys Tel drops bombshell on which club he wants to join out of Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs

Manchester United have reportedly 'agreed to sign' Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel.

Tel, 19, has been linked with several clubs including Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea but according to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, he may be on his way to Old Trafford.

“Been told Mathys Tel has decided to join Manchester United with immediate effect,” he wrote on X.

“Concrete negotiations are underway between Bayern and MUFC.

"Man Utd have submitted a loan offer, which Bayern immediately rejected.

"Bayern are not satisfied with the offered package from England. Bayern are pushing for an obligation to buy or a permanent transfer.

"Complicated. Talks are ongoing. Arsenal, not off."

The news broke just minutes after United's 2-0 home defeat against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.

Tel, a France youth international, can play on the left of a front three or as a winger - similar to Marcus Rashford who looks set to sign for Aston Villa on loan.

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl told Sky Germany on Friday morning: "It's also about generating transfer revenue. Mathys is an incredibly sought-after player.

"Whether it will be a loan or a sale, we will discuss it in the coming days and hours."

However, Tel has struggled for game time at Bayern since Vincent Kompany arrived at the club ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.

In his 14 appearances for the Munich-based side this term, he has failed to register a single goal and sports just one assist.

But given his age, he suits United's policy of recruiting players with potential, with 18-year-old Ayden Heaven and 20-year-old Patrick Dorgu being unveiled as United players at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon.

Earlier this week, Plettenberg gave an insight into what Bayern supporters thought about Tel.

"He is a great character," he said via Sky Sports. "He is 19 years old but he has learned to speak German very fast and very well.

"The fans love him. He is always friendly. He says hello to everyone working at the club and at the training ground, and to every fan.

"The fans cannot understand why he might leave Bayern but there is an understanding of the fact that he needs regular playing time.

"He is a fantastic guy, open-minded and always smiling, but he needs to choose the right club right now because this is a very important step in his career."
