Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Real Madrid striker Endrick Caught offside.
Despite purchasing Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig for a significant fee this summer, the Red Devils have been linked with new attackers ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window. Mateo Retegui, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Harry Kane suggested as potential targets.
The main reason behind the new attackers could be the uncertain future of Joshua Zirkzee. Since moving to Old Trafford from Bologna last year, he has struggled to find his feet in the Premier League.
This season he has been on the periphery, playing less than 100 minutes. As a result, it has been reported that the Dutchman has become frustrated and is ready to leave in January to play regularly and develop his career.
Caught offside claim Man Utd have identified Endrick as a serious option to replace Zirkzee if he eventually leaves. The Brazilian found himself in a similar situation to Zirkzee at Los Blancos, and his situation is even worse as he has not played any football so far this season.
The Brazilian looks set to head out on loan this winter to play regularly and develop his career. In addition to the Old Trafford club, several other clubs are also interested in him. So despite his recent troubles, he has no shortage of potential suitors.
Endrick to Man Utd
The 19-year-old, valued at around £30 million by Transfer marketmoved to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu with the reputation of being one of the most talented young players in the world. He even showed glimpses of his qualities under Carlo Ancelotti last season.
However, it seems that Xabi Alonso is not impressed with him. Real Madrid has a good attacking capacity, so it is difficult for a young player like Endrick to play regularly.
Therefore, it would be better for him to leave Los Blancos in search of playing time. However, United may not be the ideal destination as they have been in turmoil in recent years, which is not the right environment for young players to develop.
Therefore, he would be better off with another team, where the media pressure would be less. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if Man Utd ultimately choose to secure his services in January.
