Manchester United join the race to sign Real Madrid teenage prodigy – report | OneFootball

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, it has come to light that Manchester United have entered the race to sign Real Madrid forward Endrick in the upcoming January transfer window.

The 19-year-old Brazilian, who arrived in Madrid with huge expectations, has yet to make his debut this season.

Although he recently recovered from his injury, Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso has so far chosen not to include him in his matchday plans, preferring to give opportunities to Gonzalo Garcia instead.

This lack of minutes has created uncertainty around Endrick’s immediate future. Despite rejecting offers to leave in the summer, the young striker might be forced to reconsider his stance if his situation doesn’t change soon.

Several clubs across Europe, including Olympique Marseille, are already monitoring him closely, knowing the potential he carries.

Reports in England suggest that West Ham, Aston Villa, Brighton and Hove Albion, and Newcastle United are all exploring the possibility of signing him, either on loan or permanently.

Meanwhile, Marseille and a few La Liga sides have also shown interest. For Real Madrid, Endrick’s situation is becoming a tricky one.

While the club was open to a loan move in the summer, Endrick insisted on staying, determined to fight for his place and fulfil his dream of succeeding in the famous white shirt.

World Cup motivation could force change

However, things could be different this time. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup getting closer, Endrick knows that consistent game time is crucial if he wants to be part of Brazil’s national setup.

Given Real Madrid’s current attacking options, regular minutes seem unlikely.

If his situation doesn’t improve before January, a temporary move away, most likely a loan, appears to be the most logical step for both the player and the club.
