Manchester United have suffered a big transfer blow with Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel set to sign a new contract.
The Red Devils are looking to sign a new centre-forward this summer with Anthony Martial set to leave on a free transfer.
Tel has been earmarked as the prime target by the hierarchy and contact was recently made with the player’s representatives.
It was predicted that Tel would push for a summer exit, but his stance has completely changed over the past couple of weeks.
Tel has been a fringe player under manager Thomas Tuchel, but the German head coach is set to leave at the end of the season.
The French teenager has been promised regular playing time under the next manager which has convinced him to stay put.
Tel has now agreed terms over a new improved deal at Bayern and an announcement is expected before the month ends.
The news is a huge blow for the Red Devils. They now need to look elsewhere for a young striker to support Rasmus Hojlund.
