Next month, the Red Devils want to strengthen their assault, and manager Erik ten Hag has stated that the team is searching for a new striker.
Cody Gakpo of PSV Eindhoven has been closely associated with the team, but there has also been talk that United would be interested in Felix on loan.
The Premier League is now said to be Felix’s likely destination if he decides to leave Atletico during the forthcoming transfer window.
Additionally, United and Arsenal are in the lead for his signature, and talks with his agent Jorge Mendes are currently nearing their conclusion.
No one is competing with Paris Saint-Germain to sign the former Benfica youth player.
According to reports, United and PSV are in negotiations for the transfer of Gakpo. Next month, the Dutchman might be offered for less than £50 million.
