Hit the wall everywhere! It was revealed that Manchester United contacted Matteta was rejected, and he wanted to play in the Champions League and would rather renew his contract with Crystal Palace

Amorin insists that Manchester United is still a world-class giant, and that players dream of playing for them and will not introduce teams that must be qualified for the Champions League to join. But the reality is very cruel. After Manchester United missed £30 million to sign Liam Drapp, they suffered another huge blow in pursuit of another goal. French striker Jean-Philippe Matthatta of Crystal Palace said he also wants to join the Champions League team. If not, he might as well stay at the Selhurst Park Stadium.

Amorin was eager to sign a forward this summer to replace poor performance Hoylund, Naples' Osmeon and Portugal Sports' Dzekelish, were the initial hotspots. But as the team missed the Champions League, not only did they not attract these big-name scorers, but they also had no money to complete the introduction.

27-year-old Crystal Palace striker Mattha is another name on the shortlist. He has performed stably in the "London Eagles" in the past two seasons, helping the team beat Manchester City upset this season and winning the FA Cup. Data shows that since coach Oliver Glasner took office, Matthatta has second only to Isaac, Haaland and Salah.

Such data is enough to attract the attention of many European teams, such as Inter Milan in Serie A and Marseille in Ligue 1, and he has been in contact with him. Manchester United's former head coach Ten Hager also hopes to defeat his old club and bring Matthaeta to Leverkusen.

Manchester United was revealed to be interested in Matteta as early as February this year, but British media "talkSPORT" reported that Matteta wants to play in the Champions League, and he hopes to attract more attention from international football so as to be selected for the French team to play next year's World Cup. Otherwise, he might as well stay in the Crystal Palace. Manchester United will not have a Champions League next season, while Crystal Palace can play in the Europa League instead. Mattha's contract with the club expires in 2027. If he cannot transfer to the Champions League team, he will consider renewing the contract and staying.

In addition to dislike Manchester United's depravity, Mattha must be unsatisfied with the Red Devils who only regard him as a backup choice in the reserve. If it were not for the inability to introduce Dzekelash, Osmaine and Drapp, Sir Jim Ratcliff and Amorin would not be able to regard Matthaeta very much, especially if he was too old and would be 28 years old this summer.

At this moment, Manchester United is just a false reputation, and can only use various strange reasons to maintain its attractiveness in the transfer market. For example, Christian Falke of Biography claims that the Red Devils hope that the existence of Christopher Vivier, the head of the transfer department, can become a "secret weapon" to introduce Leipzig Red Bull striker Benjamin Scheshko.

In April this year, Vivier went to Wolfsburg, Germany to watch the game of Seschko. In 2019, while working at Red Bull Salzburg, he dug 16-year-old Sishko to the team. Later, Vivier jumped to work for Chelsea and joined Manchester United after Largo acquired Manchester United. He was initially a "temporary worker", but in February replaced the fired sports director Dan Asheworth as the transfer manager.

Of course, the existence of a transfer director actually does not have much influence on player transfers, and no one will choose a team for the sake of the director. The 22-year-old Seshko has no reason to choose Manchester United now unless he gets an incredible promise. Let’s face it, if you are a top player, would you choose the worst-run team in the Premier League and even Europe?

This is the fundamental reason why Manchester United's forward signings hit a wall everywhere. Unless a player like Cunya of the Wolves has supported Manchester United since childhood and the team he plays for is worse than the Red Devils, then it is possible to choose Amorin's team to try to create a history of reviving the Red Devils.
