Palace mug desperate for Man U move

Palace mug desperate for Man U move

Flying Crystal Palace fullback Daniel Munoz reckons he's good enough to play for one of the world's best teams - or even Manchester United, the mugs.

Munoz fancies himself as a big club player

The Colombian has been one of the Premier League's top boys this season, having already shown his quality under Oliver Glasner in 2024/25. That's got tongues wagging about a big money move for the lad.

Michael Olise has become a top attacker for Bayern Munich and France since leaving Selhurst Park, and Eberechi Eze is on the same path for Arsenal and England. Munoz is doing similar for Colombia, booking a spot at the 2026 World Cup, and he admits he's already thought about his next club.

Munoz dreams of Barcelona, PSG, Real Madrid or Manchester United

Asked about a Palace departure by AS, he responded "I think there's a lot of talk about one club or another. For me, it would be a dream to play for one of those clubs, whether it's Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Manchester United. I think I'm working towards that; every day I give it my all so that maybe one day I can catch the attention of these clubs.

"Right now, I'm focused on my club, on doing things well at Crystal Palace. We'll see when the winter transfer window approaches. Right now, I'm fully focused on these two matches with the national team."

Munoz a key player for Palace

Munoz will undoubtedly continue to draw attention, particularly from those European sides should he have a strong showing in the Americas next summer. Yet being mentioned along regular Champions League and league winners Madrid, Barca and PSG shows just how big United's lure remains, having snagged Benjamin Sesko and Bryan Mbeumo ahead of better-placed rivals in the summer.

When it comes to attacking Munoz has eight goals and 13 assists in 81 games for Palace, while he's also been part of a rock solid defence, winning a first-ever major trophy in the FA Cup last season.

Munoz happy at Palace - for now

The 29-year-old is still very happy where he is, though, saying playing in England was just as big a dream, and one he realised upon leaving Belgian side Genk in January 2024. Discussing his suitability for the league, he said: "To achieve that, you only get there by working hard and putting it at the service of my team and the national team.

"I've always been known for my work ethic, and one of my strengths is my athletic ability, which I strive to improve to maintain a high level."
