Former England winger Lee Sharpe has suggested that Manchester United should sign Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta to strengthen their attack alongside Rasmus Hojlund.

Sharpe believes Mateta’s experience and playing style would complement Hojlund and improve United’s frontline. He also thinks Hojlund could learn from the 27-year-old by playing alongside him.

“Mateta would be a great signing for Manchester United. He’d give Hojlund some relief and be someone he can learn from,” Sharpe said. “He’s strong, tough for defenders to handle, and would be a positive addition.”

Sharpe added that Mateta’s ability to hold the ball and involve teammates in play would suit Ruben Amorim’s style of football.

United have struggled in attack this season, sitting 15th in the Premier League with 34 points from 28 games and scoring just 34 goals. Joshua Zirkzee and Hojlund have managed only five goals between them, with Hojlund’s last league goal coming against Nottingham Forest on December 7.

Guti Says Yamal Does Whatever He Wants Because No One Around Him Says No

Former Real Madrid midfielder Guti has taken aim at Barcelona’s rising star, Lamine Yamal, criticizing his outfit choice during a recent Spain national team press conference. The 17-year-old showed up with his hat worn backwards, a look Guti felt was inappropriate for such a professional setting.

Speaking on El Chiringuito TV, Guti said, “I didn’t like seeing Yamal at a press conference with his cap turned backwards. That’s something you do on vacation or in your personal life—not when representing your club or country.” He added that the blame shouldn’t fall on Yamal alone but on those around him who failed to correct the gesture. “It’s not his fault. The people around him should’ve said ‘no way’. He just did what he wanted.”

Yamal has had a solid run with Spain, scoring three goals in seven appearances and helping them reach the UEFA Nations League final. Though Spain lost to Portugal on penalties after a 2-2 draw, the young winger played a key role throughout the tournament. He also played a major part in Barcelona’s successful season, where the club secured the LaLiga title, Copa del Rey, and the Supercopa de España. However, in the final against Portugal, he struggled to make an impact as Nuno Mendes kept him in check.
