TOP STORY: Asensio linked to Man Utd
Marco Asensio has been linked with a potential move to Manchester United from Real Madrid, according to the Telegraph.
Madrid are willing to transfer the 26-year-old Spain international for €30 million, but sources told ESPN on Thursday that the Red Devils are first prioritising their pursuit of Ajax winger Antony. Ajax have communicated to United they will consider offers of around €100m for Antony because of the 22-year-old Brazilian’s desire to move to Old Trafford.
United could also be forced to compete with Arsenal for Asensio’s signature, who have also been linked with the Spain star.
Asensio, 26, has been unsatisfied with his starting minutes in Carlo Ancelotti’s side, and with the World Cup on the horizon, the attacking midfielder is keen to garner match sharpness.
He would be the second Los Blancos player to make the switch to Old Trafford this summer after Casemiro joined United earlier this week.
Asensio featured just eight minutes when coming on as a substitute in Real Madrid’s 4-1 LaLiga win over Celta Vigo.
