Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a winter loan move for Real Madrid's young talent, Endrick. The 19-year-old is back to fitness following a hamstring injury but has yet to return to the pitch. Despite being named as a substitute for six consecutive matches by Real's head coach Xabi Alonso, Endrick has been overlooked in favour of Gonzalo Garcia on multiple occasions.
His limited game time extends back to last season under Carlo Ancelotti, who only started him in eight matches. Nevertheless, the forward managed to make 37 appearances across all competitions, netting seven goals and providing one assist.
According to The Sunday People, Endrick, often dubbed 'the next Ronaldo', is growing increasingly eager to leave Madrid. It's reported that he has told his representatives that unless there's a significant change in his situation, he'll be looking to move on in January.
Manchester United are among the clubs said to be interested in securing the teenager's services on loan in the New Year. Juventus, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are also reportedly keen.
French outlet L'Equipe suggests that Marseille are considering Endrick as cover for Amine Gouiri and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the Africa Cup of Nations.
Spanish clubs Real Sociedad and Valencia have also been mentioned as potential suitors, while Paris Saint-Germain have been tentatively linked.
However, Alonso addressed the possibility of Endrick and Garcia departing on loan in January following their 1-0 victory over Getafe on Sunday.
"I'm not thinking about it at the moment," he said, "it's not on my mind. Both are ready to play. It's a position where competition is fierce."
