Manchester United are considering signing a Bayern Munich forward who has the green light to leave amid growing expectation Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho will both depart.

Bayern Munich have confirmed that Mathys Tel wants to leave the club in January amid transfer interest from Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal. Tel has found it hard to get regular minutes in Vincent Kompany’s side, with the young Frenchman behind the likes of Michael Olise, Kingsley Coman, Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry in the pecking order.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd all want Mathys Tel, Juventus target Jean-Clair Todibo and Carney Chukwuemeka, while Arsenal may bid again for Ollie Watkins.

Arsenal are in the race alongside Chelsea and Manchester United to sign Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel, according to reports in Germany. Chelsea made an approach for Tel earlier this month but the 19-year-old was keen to remain at Bayern.

Garnacho to Chelsea, a move that has been touted for the last 10 days, would strengthen Enzo Maresca's attack and most likely allow Christopher Nkunku to leave.
