Manchester United could make a surprise move for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta this summer, according to The Sun.
The Red Devils are likely to pursue a new striker at the end of the campaign and they are exploring the market for an ideal solution.
Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres has been linked with a reunion with manager Ruben Amorim, but a deal is unlikely on the cards.
Gyokeres has his sights on playing Champions League football which United may not offer unless they win the Europa League.
United are exploring alternatives for the summer and it is claimed that they could make a shock proposal to land Mateta from Palace.
The Frenchman has been transformed since the arrival of manager Oliver Glasner and he could be tempted to secure a bigger challenge.
Mateta netted 19 goals in the last campaign. He has 15 for this season and could easily end up with 20 or more based on current form.
Palace are bound to demand a premium fee for his services.
