The latest Manchester United transfer news comes from Relevo, who claim that the Red Devils are readying a €30m offer for Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio.
After an inconsistent start to the Premier League season, which saw Manchester United beat powerhouses Liverpool, but also suffer a humiliating defeat against Brentford, further reinforcements could be necessary for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Adding a player like Asensio would bring much-needed quality in the final third, an area in which Manchester United have struggled at times not only this season, but last year also.
Manchester United transfer news: Asensio to Old Trafford?
Asensio was one of the brightest young talents in Europe when he initially broke through at Real Madrid, but a few injuries appear to have halted his progress slightly.
If Erik ten Hag can ignite the potential in Asensio, then it would be a smart signing, especially for just €30m, which is the reported fee Manchester United are willing to offer.
After a deal taking Casemiro to Old Trafford went fairly smoothly, then the two clubs may have a good relationship, but there is the question as to whether Real Madrid would want to lose another midfielder during this current transfer window.
