Man United 'position themselves' to sign Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta as he weighs up his options
Man United 'position themselves' to sign Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta as he weighs up his options Manchester United have reportedly placed themselves in a position to swoop in for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, if he is interested in joining Ruben Amorim's ranks. It's no secret that United are actively searching for a reliable striker following another challenging season for Rasmus Hojlund. The Danish forward has struggled to meet the expectations of a United frontman, and his future at the club now looks increasingly uncertain. Advertisement United are believed to be open to selling Hojlund, who has drawn interest from clubs in Italy. Should he leave, the 22-year-old would undoubtedly need to be replaced. Even if he were to stay, it's clear that United still require reinforcements up front. Some of the names that continue to be linked to the Red Devils include Victor Osimhen (Napoli), Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP), Liam Delap (Ipswich Town) and of course, Mateta. However, with United missing out on European football next season following their Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, their options in the transfer market have significantly narrowed, potentially forcing them to compromise slightly on quality. A recent report covered by The Peoples Person noted that United have a B list of striker targets, which features Mateta's name. Advertisement The Frenchman has been prolific again this term, notching an impressive 14 goals and two assists in 36 Premier League appearances. He was crucial for Palace as they beat Manchester City in the FA CUp final to secure their spot in next term's Europa League. It was the first major piece of silverware in the Eagles' history. According to L'Equipe, United are among the clubs that have 'already positioned themselves' to secure Mateta's signature. It's understood that the 27-year-old is considering his options, with a view to breaking into the France national team. L'Equipe reveal, 'For Jean-Philippe Mateta, choosing his next club will be crucial. The striker still dreams of joining the French national team and competing in the 2026 World Cup with the team.' Advertisement 'He knows that his choice—stay or leave—will have significant consequences in giving Didier Deschamps more leverage to secure a call-up.' 'Mateta will wait and see what concrete avenues emerge in the coming weeks before making his choice. A return to France is not entirely out of the question.' Palace are thought to value Mateta at a whooping £50 million. Feature image Michael Regan via Getty Images Follow us on Bluesky: @

Palace: Sara Duterte impeachment trial beyond President Marcos' reach
The impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte is beyond the reach of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said Friday. 'Maliwanag po ang sinabi ng Pangulo na sa simula po ay ayaw niya talaga po ng impeachment dahil maaaring mayroon pong ibang mga legal na pamamaraan para mapanagot ang dapat mapanagot. Pero ngayon po, ang Bise Presidente po ay impeached na, wala na po sa Pangulo ito,' Castro said during a Palace press briefing. (What the President said is clear from the very start. He does not favor impeachment because there may be other legal remedies to hold public officials accountable. But now that the Vice President is already impeached, this is out of the President's hands.) Duterte was impeached by the House of Representatives on February 5, with over 200 congressmen endorsing the complaint against her. She was accused of betrayal of public trust, culpable violation of the Constitution, graft and corruption, and other high crimes mainly over alleged misuse of around P612.5 million worth of confidential funds and threatening to kill Marcos, First Lady Liza, and the President's cousin and Speaker, Leyte First District Rep. Martin Romualdez. 'Iyon naman po ay kaniyang suggestion lang, kung maaari ay ayaw niya ng impeachment. Ang sabi po ng Pangulo, proseso,' Castro added. (What the President said is a mere suggestion. But he favors due process.) Further, Castro said that the President does not have the authority over any impeachment proceeding. 'The impeachment trial is not the business of the Executive. Hindi po makikialam ang Pangulo patungkol po diyan, pero sinabi po niya na dapat umandar ang proseso, irespeto ang due process,' Castro said. (The President won't meddle with the impeachment process, but the President also said the process should be followed, with respect to due process.) 'So, ito po ay nasa kamay na ng mga prosecutors, nasa kamay na po ng Senado. 'Pag sinabi po nating proseso, dapat sundin ang batas,' she added. (The impeachment is in the hands of the prosecutors and the Senate. And when we say process, law should be followed.) Castro also said the ultimate judge of the public officials' performance, whether it is the Vice President, senators or the House prosecutors, is the people. 'Ang taumbayan na po ang titingin at maghuhusga sa mga taong nasa loob or maaaring gumalaw para sa impeachment trial. Ang mga prosecutors dapat gampanan ang kanilang trabaho bilang prosecutors; ang mga senador bilang judges ay dapat ding gampanan ang kanilang trabaho bilang senators-judges. Proseso po ang nais ng Pangulo,' Castro said. (The public will be the one to judge those involved in the impeachment trial. The prosecutors should do their job as prosecutors, the senators should do their job as senator-judges. At the end of the day, what the President wants is due process.) The Vice President, for her part, said she is looking forward to her impeachment trial in the upcoming 20th Congress because she 'wants a bloodbath." —AOL, GMA Integrated News
