Man United have reportedly declared their interest in a Real Madrid star alongside Premier League rivals West Ham.
The Red Devils are on somewhat of an upward trend at the moment. They have won two games in a row for the first time under Ruben Amorim, and also managed to beat rivals Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield over the weekend, their first win at the ground since 2016.
Man United will hope they can continue to climb the Premier League table, and get into the European football places for next season after a year without Europe this season.
To do so, Amorim will be keen to add more talent to his squad at Carrington to improve both results and squad depth, especially if more injuries begin to hit moving forward. They have been linked to adding a top talent in attack.
Man United interested in Endrick
Real Madrid striker Endrick hasn’t featured yet this season in La Liga, and his game time has been depleted under new manager Xabi Alonso. It is understood that he wants to leave the club in January in search of more game time ahead of the World Cup in June.
Fabrizio Romano posted on Instagram: “Endrick, expected to leave in January on loan deal to get more game time! Clear plan to prepare loan transfer ahead of January with World Cup 2026 and game time as missions. Real Madrid are prepared to give green light for the Brazilian to try new chapter on loan and then return.”
Furthermore, Man United are reportedly amongst the group of clubs interested in the striker according to the Daily Mirror. West Ham have also been linked in the past.
Former Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is now the boss for the Brazil international side, loves Endrick, and was quoted by Reuters during his time at the Bernabeu praising the 19-year-old. He said: “He is spectacular… His accuracy is off the charts, he’s quick and he still has a lot to improve with the ball.”
Endrick could replace Zirkzee
If Man United were to sign the 19-year-old, he would likely become the second choice striker for Amorim behind Benjamin Sesko, who has scored two goals in three games for the Red Devils.
Furthermore, reports have said that Zirkzee wants to leave United in January, and that West Ham are keen to sign the Dutchman. If that move were to happen, the Red Devils could add Endrick, and the Brazilian wonderkid could replace Zirkzee.
It would benefit Man United, Real Madrid, Endrick, and West Ham, so seems the ideal January transfer move for all parties involved.
