Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has advised Manchester United to consider signing Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta to address their goalscoring woes, according to GIVEMESPORT. Merson's suggestion comes after Mateta's impressive performance against Manchester United, where he scored two goals in a 2-0 win for Crystal Palace.
According to Merson, Mateta's physical presence, work ethic, and goal-scoring ability make him an ideal candidate to lead Manchester United's front line. The former Arsenal player praised Mateta's tireless work rate, stating that he "runs, he works his socks off as hard as any other player."

Merson believes that Mateta's skills and attributes would make him a valuable addition to Manchester United's squad, particularly given their current struggles in front of goal. The Red Devils' goalscoring woes have been exacerbated by Marcus Rashford's temporary departure to Aston Villa, making the need for a reliable striker even more pressing.
While Manchester United have been linked to other strikers, including Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku, Merson argues that Mateta's quality and value make him a more attractive option. The Crystal Palace striker's impressive form has led to speculation about his future, with some reports suggesting that he could be on his way out of Selhurst Park. Manchester United may see this as an opportunity to strengthen their squad and address their goalscoring concerns.
