Manchester United is reportedly considering a winter loan deal for Real Madrid’s promising prospect, Endrick. The 19-year-old has regained fitness following a hamstring injury but is yet to return to the pitch. Despite being named as a replacement for six consecutive matches by Real’s head coach Xabi Alonso, Endrick has been passed over in favor of Gonzalo Garcia on several occasions.
His restricted playing time dates back to last season, when Carlo Ancelotti only started him in eight games. Nonetheless, the forward made 37 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing one assist.
Endrick, branded ‘the future Ronaldo’ by The Sunday People, is reportedly growing increasingly keen to leave Madrid. According to reports, he has informed his representatives that unless his condition changes significantly, he intends to leave in January.

Manchester United is one of the clubs rumored to be interested in signing the teenager on loan in the new year. Juventus, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are also reportedly interested.
According to the French source L’Equipe, Marseille is contemplating Endrick as a replacement for Amine Gouiri and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Real Sociedad and Valencia, both in Spain, have been suggested as potential suitors, as has Paris Saint-Germain.
Following Sunday’s 1-0 victory over Getafe, Alonso discussed the prospect of Endrick and Garcia leaving on loan in January.
“I’m not thinking about it at the time,” he added, “it’s not on my mind. Both are prepared to play. It’s a highly competitive post.”
