Manchester United have reportedly been linked with a move for 23-year-old Real Madrid attacker Vinicius Junior.
A report from Fichajes has claimed that Real Madrid are now prepared to sell Vinicius Junior in order to make way for Kylian Mbappe. The 23-year-old winger is a target for Manchester United.

Manchester United Pursuing Vinicius Junior
It is fair to assume that Manchester United will have to secure UEFA Champions League qualification in order to attract a world-class player like Vinicius Junior. Also, the Brazilian international is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition, and he has a long-term contract with the Spanish club.
Manchester United might have to shatter their club transfer record to sign a player of his quality.

Real Madrid Considering Vinicius Junior Sale?
Meanwhile, Real Madrid are hoping to sign Mbappe, but they will need to reduce their wage bill to accommodate him. The French international will be available on a free transfer at the end of the season, but he is likely to command massive wages.
