Manchester United are planning a January transfer move for Real Madrid star Marco Asensio.
Asensio’s contract at Real Madrid will expire at the end of the season, meaning he can sign a pre-contract with a new club during the January transfer window.
If a new deal is not agreed in the coming weeks, he is likely to move on from Real Madrid, with Asensio potentially tempted by offers in January.

Now, according to Central Defense, Manchester United are plotting a move to sign Asensio in January. Asensio has only managed 426 minutes so far this season, so he could have more regular playing time on his schedule.
Asensio is capable of playing in a large number of positions that could make him an attractive prospect for Manchester United. Predominantly an attacking midfielder, Asensio has also played on the wings and even played false nine for Spain during the World Cup.
With Manchester United lacking center forward options, Erik ten Hag could be looking to bring Asensio to the club to fill this role. With his versatility meaning he is an option to cover multiple positions, he could be a smart signing for United.
