7M - Man Utd Initiate Contact for Wolves Prodigy Mateus Mane Ahead of Summer Shake-up
Posted Wednesday, February 18, 2026 by 7M Sport

Manchester United have officially stepped up their pursuit of teenage sensation Mateus Mane, holding "initial talks" with the player’s representatives. The 18-year-old Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker has emerged as a top summer target for the Red Devils as they look to inject fresh blood into their offensive line.
While Wolves are currently battling a grim relegation fight, Mane has been a rare bright spark at Molineux, drawing scouts from across the Premier League. Sources suggest that United’s recruitment team, under the direction of INEOS, views the Portuguese forward as a high-potential asset who could command a fee in the region of £50 million.
The talks come at a time of tactical transition at Old Trafford. With Michael Carrick impressing as interim head coach, United are prioritizing young, versatile attackers to bolster the left wing. Although Mane has attracted interest from multiple top-flight clubs, the allure of the Champions League—which United are on track to secure—could give them the decisive edge in the race for his signature.
