The Red Devils have been linked with the French striker for several months, despite adding new players to their attack over the summer.

However, Mateta is reportedly keen on staying with Crystal Palace and has begun discussing his future with the club.

Last month, Mateta mentioned that every ambitious player wants to play for a top club, but he has not explicitly stated that he wants to leave Palace.

Mateta has already made a strong start to the season, scoring six goals in 11 appearances and earning his debut for the French national team, where he has scored twice in his first three caps.
