Manchester United intensifies efforts to sign Mateus Fernandes from West Ham

Manchester United is ramping up its pursuit of Mateus Fernandes following West Ham United's relegation to the Championship. With West Ham needing to make significant sales to address financial issues, the valuation of Fernandes may drop from the €50-60 million range. United's transfer committee is accelerating discussions with the player's representatives, and Fernandes is reportedly keen to play in the Champions League. Other clubs, including Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, are also interested, but United is believed to be the player's first choice.
