Battle line! Manchester United, Arsenal to battle for Bayern Munich gem Mathys Tel

Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly set to battle for the signature of Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel.

Arsenal are in the hunt for Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel, but they'll have to fend off competition from Manchester United to secure the forward's signature on loan.

The 19-year-old has made it clear he wants out of Bayern Munich this transfer window, having played just 252 minutes in the Bundesliga this season.

For Arsenal, Tel represents a potential solution to their injury woes, particularly with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus sidelined for an extended period. Mikel Arteta's squad could benefit from Tel's flexibility, as he can play in various attacking positions.

Arsenal have reportedly made contact with Tel's representatives, and the indications are that he's open to a move to north London.

However, the devil is in the details – the Gunners still need to iron out the terms of the loan deal with Bayern Munich, and must now be wary of a last-minute swoop from Ruben Amorim's men.

The Red Devils are in the market for a forward, with Marcus Rashford set to join Aston Villa on loan.

Rashford fell out of favour with Amorim, and even though this is a loan deal, the expectation is that his time in Manchester is done.
