MANCHESTER UNITED COULD BE SET FOR AN EXTREMELY BUSY END TO THE JANUARY TRANSFER WINDOW ON RUBEN AMORIM'S FIRST DEADLINE DAY AT OLD TRAFFORD 08:01, 03 Feb 2025Updated 08:07, 03 Feb 2025
The final countdown of the transfer window has begun and Manchester United are poised to make some last-minute moves. On Sunday afternoon, the Red Devils introduced new recruits Patrick
Dorgu and Ayden Heaven to their fans, ahead of a dismal 2-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace. The young duo, hailing from Lecce and Arsenal respectively, have been brought in to bolster
Ruben Amorim's struggling squad. With Marcus Rashford heading off to Aston Villa on loan, it was a hectic weekend for the club's transfer team. However, their work isn't over
yet as the future of Mathys Tel at Bayern Munich is still up in the air. The young forward is keen for more game time, with both United and Arsenal showing interest as the final day
approaches. Here's the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding the club. MATHYS TEL TWIST Sunday saw Tel pick United as his preferred destination for the rest of the season in his
quest for more playing time, reports the Mirror. The Red Devils were in talks with Bayern, hoping to strike a deal to bring the teenager to Old Trafford. Article continues below However,
just hours after Tel's decision came to light, reports suggested the deal had fallen through. Sky in Germany reported that no agreement could be reached, with the German giants
rejecting United's proposals to such an extent that a loan deal couldn't be finalised before the window closed.Bayern reportedly had their sights set on either a permanent transfer
or a loan with an obligation to buy for the player in question. Arsenal, along with several other clubs, are believed to be still in the running to secure Tel's signature. The Gunners
are said to favour a deal that includes some sort of purchase commitment. Harry Kane has weighed in with advice for the young talent, suggesting the former Rennes prodigy should focus on
getting as much playing time as possible. "Mathys is a great young player," the England skipper remarked."I've worked with him for 18 months. He has a lot of potential,
works and trains hard. He can still improve, but he has the right mindset. My advice is wherever he goes, he should make sure he gets game time and experience."While Manchester United
might have seen themselves as front-runners to land Tel after he turned down Tottenham, Arsenal could present an appealing option as they aim to compete at the top levels of both the Premier
League and the Champions League. However, the competition for a starting spot at Arsenal could intensify, especially once Bukayo Saka is back in the mix. Article continues below GARNACHO
GOING? In a last-ditch twist, Alejandro Garnacho might still be snapped up in a late deal, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. Chelsea are reported to be keen on the Argentine
winger, although no talks were in progress at the time. Just last month, Garnacho's agents were spotted at Stamford Bridge, but the 20-year-old has remained a key part of Amorim's
squad since then. Romano suggests that while no serious talks have taken place, Chelsea might still opt to swoop in, although the player could remain at Old Trafford as there was no offer on
the table as of Sunday.Christopher Nkunku is also rumoured to be on United's radar. After seemingly missing out on Tel, both Chelsea and the Red Devils still have a chance to enter
into negotiations.
