A forward player is set to join Manchester United’s attack this summer, as the team has struggled in Rasmus Hojlund’s absence.

Rodrygo stated: “It was a key game, and we’re delighted with the win.”

While a striker is essential, with Antony underperforming, Jadon Sancho’s future uncertain, and Omari Forson not impressing, United also requires a wide forward.

Spanish outlet Sport reports that United is “closely monitoring” Rodrygo at Real Madrid.

Real Madrid’s Rodrygo has urged PSG’s Kylian Mbappe to join Los Blancos.

Rodrygo’s position will be further challenged next season with the arrivals of Kylian Mbappe and Endrick.

The 23-year-old has played a crucial role for Los Blancos this season, featuring in 41 matches across competitions, scoring 13 goals and providing eight assists.

According to Man United News on X: “Manchester United ‘keeping a close eye’ on Real Madrid star Rodrygo.”

Despite signing a contract extension with Real Madrid until June 2028, both Arsenal and Manchester United are closely monitoring his situation, looking for a chance to secure his services.

Real Madrid values Rodrygo at €100 million, a significant obstacle for English clubs pursuing the versatile forward.

Rodrygo can play in various attacking positions but prefers the wings, stating, “I have always made it clear that I can play on the wings; I don’t like being a nine.”

Real Madrid’s tactical changes under Carlo Ancelotti, including a switch to a 4-3-1-2 formation, have impacted Rodrygo’s role.

With speculation about Kylian Mbappe’s potential move to the Bernabeu, the dynamics of Real Madrid’s attack for the upcoming season remain uncertain.

Both Arsenal and Manchester United seek reinforcements in attack, with Arsenal looking for an upgrade on Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus, while United aims to support Rasmus Hojlund.

Currently, Rodrygo is with the Brazil national team for friendlies against England and Spain, as his future remains a hot topic, with Arsenal and Manchester United keeping a close watch.

In another note, Man United star Alejandro Garnacho dreams of playing for Real Madrid one day.

The 19-year-old is thriving in his second year with United, having emerged as a notable talent last season.

Garnacho has outperformed Antony on the right flank, starting 20 of his 28 Premier League appearances and scoring five goals.

His remarkable rise last season earned him a new five-year deal, but reports suggest United may face challenges in retaining him long-term.

Alejandro Garnacho expressed, “Real Madrid or Barcelona? Real Madrid, simple.”

Real Madrid’s scouting team considers Garnacho a target to rejuvenate the team, similar to their acquisition of Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009.

This strategy has led to the recruitment of Vinícius Júnior, Rodrygo, Federico Valverde, Edouardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler, and Jude Bellingham in recent years.

Garnacho has solidified his status as one of the Premier League’s top prospects over the past year and is under contract with Man Utd until Summer 2028, currently valued at €40M by Transfermarkt.
