Tottenham loanee Mathys Tel ‘eyeing summer Man Utd transfer’ as debut ends in Anfield humiliation

TOTTENHAM loanee Mathys Tel is reportedly eyeing a summer move to Manchester United.

The 19-year-old's hopes of a dream debut went up in smoke after Spurs were humiliated by Liverpool at Anfield.

Holding a shock 1-0 lead from the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, Spurs went onto lose 4-0 in the return leg last night.

Ange Postecoglou's side couldn't lay a glove on Arne Slot's men - and failed to register a single shot on target.

Tel - who came on for Richarlison on the stroke on half-time - may already be left questioning his move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

He was expected to lead the line, as the Brazilian had done, centrally, and there were sparks of intelligent play from the Bayern Munich star.

The Frenchman provided a key pass amongst 18 touches of the ball, though failed to do much else of note beyond firing into the side netting in the second half.

While reports suggested that he'd secretly agreed to sign a permanent deal with Tottenham, Tel might now be drawn to Old Trafford.

But Tel would be swapping one car crash for another, as United sit 13th in the Prem and have lost to Spurs twice already this season.

United expressed an interest in loaning Tel before he joined Tottenham, who have the option to buy him, on deadline day.

They ultimately decided against it after the clubs couldn't agree on a fee.

But Ruben Amorim will get a “second chance” to sign Tel as the French starlet was open to a move to Manchester in January, according to German football expert Christian Falk.

If the Red Devils - who are depleted in forward areas - do want him in the summer they'll have to fork out around £50m to Bayern.

Tel had initially rejected a switch to Spurs when a straight £50m deal was on the table.

Spurs fans worried about paying £10MILLION for a three-and-a-half-month loan deal, but Postecoglou adamantly claimed the French teenager was going to be at the club for years to come.

In all, Tel - the centre-forward Ange so desperately wanted - had just ONE touch of the ball in the box against Liverpool.
