Manchester United lining up offer for Real Madrid and Spain forward Marco Asensio

Manchester United are reportedly considering making an offer for Spain international forward Marco Asensio, according to Ladbrokes.

The Premier League side, who host arch rivals Manchester City on Super Sunday at Old Trafford, have been linked once more with the Real Madrid starlet ahead of the forthcoming January transfer window.

The 21-year-old, who has eight international caps for his country, has scored seven goals and provided two assists in 21 appearances in all competitions for the defending La Liga champions so far this season.

The report suggests The Red Devils are preparing a move for the winger, who can also operate as an attacking midfielder, having started just eight league games this term for the Spanish giants.
