Man Utd exploring shock six month loan deal for Real Madrid star – Report

Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a shock loan move for out-of-favour Real Madrid forward Endrick, according to Daily Star.

Widely regarded as one of Brazil’s brightest attacking talents, Endrick joined Real Madrid amid huge fanfare in a deal worth up to £63 million after dazzling for Palmeiras in the Brazilian Serie A.

However, the 19-year-old has struggled to cement a regular place in the Spanish champions’ starting lineup under Xabi Alonso, prompting speculation that he could seek a move away from the Santiago Bernabéu when the January transfer window opens.

The teenager made his first appearance of the campaign as a late substitute in Madrid’s 4-0 win over Valencia, sparking renewed debate about his immediate future.

Ligue 1 side Lyon currently lead the chase for Endrick’s signature, but latest report claim Manchester United and Aston Villa have entered the race.

Endrick is open to a loan move if it guarantees consistent first-team football, something he sees as crucial for his development ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Brazilian star wants to play more regularly and prove himself in Europe. Real Madrid still believe in his potential but are open to loan offers that will accelerate his growth.

United are looking to strengthen their attacking depth in January and see Endrick as an ideal short-term option who can add pace and unpredictability to their frontline.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa, led by Unai Emery, have been closely monitoring the situation as they look to add more attacking firepower in the winter window. Having struggled with signings like Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott, they believe Endrick is a player who can add a spark to their attack.
