United's technical director, Jason Wilcox, has identified Mastantuono as a key target to rejuvenate the squad. However, Real Madrid poses a significant threat, with the player's admiration for the Spanish giants potentially influencing his decision. River Plate's president, Jorge Brito, has stated that Mastantuono will remain with the club until the summer of 2026, but a pre-agreement could be reached before then.
