CONFIRMED: Amorim picks surprise Rashford’s Man Utd replacement and makes a bid
Manchester United are already preparing for life without Marcus Rashford, with Ruben Amorim’s side having lodged an offer for a replacement forward.
United are close to agreeing a loan move that will see Rashford head to Aston Villa with a purchase option for the Birmingham club.
This will free up a spot in Amorim’s squad for an additional forward player, and the Portuguese head coach already knows who that will be.
Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel has been linked with a string of clubs in recent days but United have now made a verbal offer for the 19-year-old, who is determined to leave the Allianz Arena after being pushed to one side by head coach Vincent Kompany.
He has not played a minute in FCB’s last three Bundesliga games and was not included in their squad to face Holstein Kiel on Saturday.
Now United have lodged a verbal offer for the striker, according to Sky Sports.
“Man Utd contacted Bayern and talks have been ongoing ever since, with negotiations already under way,” Florian Plettenberg confirms.
“At this stage, there is no full agreement between Man Utd and Tel.”
“United have always been in a position during this window of having to facilitate a departure before bringing anyone in.
“It’s thought Tel is open to the move, after rejecting the chance to go to Tottenham Hotspur.
“Man United are aware that there are other clubs in the Premier League and Europe interested in Tel.”
