Marco Asensio set to be offered to Manchester United

Jorge Mendes will reportedly soon offer Marco Asensio to Manchester United, with the Spaniard facing an uncertain future at Real Madrid.

According to a report by El Chiringuito, Manchester United will soon have the chance to secure the services of Marco Asensio in the summer transfer window. Jorge Mendes wants to take the Spanish forward to the Premier League, with the player facing an uncertain future at Real Madrid.

Marco Asensio has done well to bounce back from the setback of his long-term knee injury, with the Spaniard enjoying one of the most productive seasons of his career. While the 26-year-old was not a regular starter for Los Blancos, he did well to end the 2021/22 campaign as one of Real Madrid’s top scorers.

The Spanish international amassed 12 goals and two assists in 42 outings across all competitions. But Asensio faces an uncertain future at Real Madrid, as his current contract will expire next year, with developments on the renewal front slow. Such a situation has captured the attention of several European bigwigs, with Asensio’s agent Jorge Mendes now wanting to take him to Manchester United.

Manchester United will likely invest in a wide attacker in the summer transfer window as Mason Greenwood remains suspended due to an off-field issue. In addition, Anthony Martial could leave Manchester United in the summer transfer window after falling down the pecking order.

Marcus Rashford also faces an uncertain future at Manchester United following recent developments, but the Englishman should stay put at Old Trafford. Nonetheless, there will be room for one new wide attacker in the Red Devils’ squad, particularly someone who can occupy the right-wing berth.

Asensio has thus emerged as a viable target for Manchester United, with the Real Madrid forward set to be on the Premier League heavyweights’ table soon. Jorge Mendes looks determined to have Asensio ending his Real Madrid stint this summer, and the Premier League could be his next destination, with Arsenal and Newcastle United also interested.

It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils take up the option to sign him from Real Madrid.
