Manchester United are reportedly interested in a potential transfer move for Real Madrid attacking midfielder Marco Asensio this summer.

Arsenal, meanwhile, also surely need to make changes in that department after the poor form of Nicolas Pepe, and they have a good relationship with Los Blancos, signing the likes of Martin Odegaard and Dani Ceballos from them in the last few years.
