Manchester United are lining up a swoop for Real Madrid winger Marco Asensio in January.

The 26-year-old attacker was heavily linked with a move away from the Bernabeu over the summer, but a move did not materialise.

The Spain international is yet to start for Los Blancos this term, and his contract is set to expire at the end of the season, his future at the club now appears to be in doubt.

According to Todo Fichajes, the Red Devils are interested in signing the Spaniard, and they could make a bid to sign him at the midway point of the campaign.

He is believed to be open to extending his contract with the European champions, but president Florentino Perez is reluctant to offer a new contract.

While Madrid assesses the situation, Asensio continues to be linked with Man United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
