Manchester United’s talks with Bayern Munich over Mathys Tel have stalled after two loan offers for the player were rejected, talkSPORT understands. The Red Devils opened formal negotiations with Bayern Munich over a loan move for the French forward on Sundy after he snubbed the chance to join Tottenham. United have launched a bid for Tel after he rejected SpursGetty Tel would become Ruben Amorim’s third addition of the January transfer window. United have already completed the signings of defenders Patrick Dorgu and Ayden Heaven from Lecce and Arsenal, respectively. The Gunners had also been interested in Tel earlier this month before his snubbed a move to their north London rivals. Spurs had agreed a permanent deal with the German giants, with Bayern preferring to sell Tel as opposed to a loan deal. On Wednesday evening, after a 3-1 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava, Tel stayed behind for what seemed to be his final goodbye to Bayern fans. Meanwhile, for their game on Saturday against Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga, he’s not expected to be part of the German giants’ squad. “He has said he would like to leave,” said Bayern sporting director Max Eberl. “Now we have to think about whether we will do it and what we will do.” With Harry Kane ahead in Vincent Kompany‘s pecking order, Tel has struggled for minutes despite showing promise. He scored ten goals and assisted six times last season but has struggled to replicate that form with the Frenchman yet to score this term.
