Mateta, 27, has been linked to Manchester United, but it seems that the club's lack of European football may be a significant obstacle. The striker's desire for Champions League football may lead him to look elsewhere.

Manchester United were initially focused on signing Liam Delap, but it appears that he may choose to join Chelsea instead. This raises questions about the club's ability to attract top talent, especially when other teams can offer Champions League football.

Interestingly, Bruno Fernandes is reportedly considering a move to Al-Hilal, which may impact Manchester United's transfer budget. The transfer market is currently quiet, but it's expected to pick up soon.
