What INEOS chiefs are now thinking about signing PL star who publicly expressed desire to play for Man United

When considering where his future might lie beyond his Crystal Palace career, Daniel Munoz claimed it’d be a ‘dream’ to play for Manchester United.Indeed, the Eagles’ trusted full-back included United among a quartet of European giants whom he’d love to ply his trade for. Daniel Munoz: “It would be a dream to play for one of these clubs, whether it’s Barcelona, PSG, Real Madrid, or Manchester United. I think I’m working towards that. My focus is on Crystal Palace; we’ll see when the winter transfer window gets closer.” [@AS_Colombia] pic.twitter.com/fkcot05eDg — utdreport (@utdreport) November 15, 2025Daniel Munoz has become a dependable figure for Oliver Glasner(Photo by Alex Broadway/Getty Images)Munoz signed for Palace last January in a £6.8 million move from Genk, and went on to play an influential role in the side claiming their first-ever major honour in the form of the FA Cup in May.He initially signed a three-year deal at Selhurst Park, but saw his deal extended in April to keep him tied to the club until the summer of 2028.However, his recent admission has cast doubt over whether he’ll see out the deal, given his newly-issued come-and-get-me plea over the international break.What’s United’s stance on signing Munoz?(Photo by Ryan Pierse/Getty Images)Yet, the chances of United granting Munoz’s requests are slim.Ruben Amorim is already satisfied with the wing-back options at his disposal, and, if any position were to be strengthened mid-season, it’d be the midfield.“Sources say that Man United have other priorities in January and the chance of them pursuing Munoz is low,” said Football Insider’s transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke this morning.Fabrizio Romano also revealed last night that the Red Devils are on the lookout for a skilful, prolific No.10 – presumably for the summer, when United will hope to have qualified for a European competition ahead of 2026/2027.In the meantime, INEOS chiefs and Amorim have decisions to make over the futures of Kobbie Mainoo and Joshua Zirkzee, both of whom are angling for January loans in order to increase their game time in the build-up to the World Cup.
