Manchester United Eye Bayern’s Mathys Tel Amid Rashford’s Looming Exit

Manchester United are reportedly making moves to sign Bayern Munich’s teenage sensation, Mathys Tel, once Marcus Rashford finalizes his move to Aston Villa.

According to Sky Sports, Rashford is on the verge of securing a shock transfer to Villa Park, with Unai Emery’s side leading the race to sign the England international.

With Rashford’s exit looming, United are wasting no time in identifying replacements. Bayern’s 19-year-old forward Mathys Tel has emerged as a strong candidate, with the Red Devils reportedly expressing their interest in a potential loan deal.

Tel has been struggling for game time under Thomas Tuchel and was left out of Bayern’s squad for their recent clash against Holstein Kiel. Despite interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Tel is said to favor a move to Old Trafford over North London.

Rio Ferdinand Warns Against the Move

However, United legend Rio Ferdinand has urged manager Ruben Amorim to rethink the potential signing of Tel. The former defender believes United should prioritize an experienced goal-scorer over the young French forward.

Ferdinand’s argument is valid—United have struggled in front of goal this season, and a proven, clinical striker might be a better short-term solution than another young talent needing development.

Opinion: Smart Move or Another Gamble?

While Tel is undeniably a rising star, signing a teenager as a replacement for Rashford comes with risks. United have already struggled with inconsistency this season, and bringing in another untested youngster—no matter how talented—might not be the immediate fix they need.

That said, if Amorim can unlock Tel’s potential, he could become a long-term asset for the club. But will United regret not going for a more experienced goal-scorer in this crucial phase of the season?
