Manchester United have made an inquiry for Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel, reports Sky Sports Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg.

Tel has featured 27 times in all competitions for the Bundesliga powerhouse this season, notching six goals and three assists. However, just four of these appearances have been starts, showcasing the struggles the 18-year-old has endured to establish himself in Bayern's core squad.

It is reported that Manchester United have joined two other English clubs in enquiring over the availability of Tel. The report suggests that United have identified the teenager as a summer target, however, a deal is will not be easy to strike.

Tel is reportedly reluctant to depart the German champions, with the France under-21 international having aspirations to become a club legend at Bayern. Still, it is expected that he will part ways if he believes the club do not see him as part of their future plans at the Allianz Arena.

Man United are keen on attacking reinforcements for the summer as the Red Devils look to provide support for young forward Rasmus Hojlund. It is expected that Anthony Martial will depart Old Trafford, with the Frenchman's contract expiring at the end of the season, and with United struggling for a consistent source of goals, manager Erik ten Hag will be active in the summer as he looks to bolster his forward options.

Manchester United reportedly have their eye on Bayern Munich forward Mathys Tel.
