Manchester United given Vinicius Jr transfer boost as Real Madrid consider cashing in on Brazilian star

Manchester United have been linked with a shock move for Vinicius Junior.

Reports days ago claimed that Manchester United were considering a potential £130 million swoop for Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr.

A lot depended on whether Madrid would consider cashing in on the Brazilian attacker.

If recent reports are to be believed, United have now been given a boost.

According to Spanish outlet Sport, Madrid have ‘already decided that they will offload Vinicius Jr in case they manage to get Kylian Mbappe, who still remains undecided on his future.

That said, it’s the worst kept secret in football that Madrid will push hard to sign the French start in the summer. They won’t be able to keep him and Vinicius Jr happy in the same team.

This could come as good news for United but there will be a number of clubs in the market for Vinicius Jr if he becomes available at the end of the season since he’s one of the best attackers in the world.
