According to Spanish journalist Sergio Santos, Premier League giant Manchester United has decided to make a formal offer to Real Madrid for Marco Asensio’s signature.
The report has claimed that other [unnamed] clubs from the Premier League and Serie A side are also interested in signing the mercurial forward.
The deal however will be difficult as Carlo Ancelotti is hoping to keep the 26-year-old for the ongoing season as a key rotational player, like last season.
The English Premier League giant are looking to reinforce their frontline and they are confident of signing Antony from Ajax.
They are yet to reach an agreement with the Dutch giants over the transfer fee, who are said to be demanding around £84 million (€100m) for the Brazilian forward.
United’s interest in PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo has also cooled with them stepping up their interest to sign Antony.
Erik ten Hag has only managed to add Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, and Casemiro to his ranks and the former Ajax boss is now looking to further strengthen his squad during the closing days of the window.
