Manchester United are interested in 22-year-old Real Sociedad winger Takefusa Kubo, a target for Real Madrid.
Takefusa Kubo is highly rated around Europe, and he has emerged as a target for Manchester United, according to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes. Real Madrid are keen on the 22-year-old as well.
Kubo has been a key player for Real Sociedad this season, scoring five goals across all competitions. He has the potential to develop into one of the best attackers in European football, and it is no surprise that the top clubs are keen on him.
Manchester United need to add more quality and depth in the final third. Players like Jadon Sancho and Antony have been largely underwhelming since their big-money moves to Old Trafford and the Red Devils will have to find alternatives now. They need to add more creativity and technical ability in the final third.
Kubo seems like the perfect acquisition for them, and the 22-year-old could be a key player for them in the long run. The Japanese international has the potential to play for big clubs and the opportunity to join clubs like Manchester United will be an attractive option for him.
The 22-year-old has already shown his quality in the Spanish league and he might be looking to take the next step in his development. A move to Manchester United would be ideal for him, and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils can agree on a fee with the Spanish outfit.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are keen on signing the player as well, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can beat the Spanish giants to his signature. Both Real Madrid and Manchester United have the financial resources to sign the player, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Real Madrid are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and Kubo is likely to be attracted to the idea of playing for them again. Manchester United will probably have to come forward with a lucrative proposal to convince the player. The 22-year-old is versatile enough to play on either flank and he could be an asset for both clubs.
Erik ten Hag has done well to nurture talented young players throughout his managerial career, and the Dutchman could be the ideal manager to nurture the Japanese international and help him fulfil his potential in the coming seasons.
Kubo needs to join a club where he will play regularl,y and he will probably seek first-team assurances before completing a move. Manchester United might be able to provide him with more opportunities compared to Real Madrid. The La Liga giants already have Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes. So, Kubo might have to settle for a backup role at the Santiago Bernabeu.
