What a great signing it would be
He can play from the wing or up front as a 9— Fatih of Nigeria 🇳🇬 (@fatih_2504055) February 17, 2024

Brilliant player.
A different profile to that of Hojlund, can even play through the left and right wing.
A decent addition if it happens.— RikUNITED (@Riku72187100) February 17, 2024
This guy is just 18 years would be so perfect to have him with Hojlund around

What do United fans need to know about Tel?
The teenager spent spells in the academies of Paris FC, ASJA Jugend and Montrouge before making his first-team breakthrough at Rennes.
However, after making his senior debut against Stade Brestois in August 2021, Tel only made 10 appearances before Bayern Munich snapped him up for €28.5m.
Over the past two seasons, the Frenchman has very much been a bit-part player, making just 6 starts in total, but he has still scored 12 goals and contributed 3 assists.
Where does Tel play?
The forward can be deployed right across the front three, having been selected as a left-winger, right-winger and striker on multiple occasions for Bayern.
Tel is naturally right-footed so his preference would be to play off the left-hand side so he can cut into central areas.
