Real Madrid are reportedly planning a late January approach for Manchester United defender Diogo Dalot before the winter transfer window closes.
The Spanish giants are keen to strengthen their right-back options following ongoing injury concerns and inconsistent performances in that position this season.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have shown renewed confidence under interim manager Michael Carrick after an impressive run of results domestically.

Victories over Arsenal and Manchester City have transformed the mood at Old Trafford after a difficult spell earlier in the campaign.
Despite the improvement, United have avoided spending this January, focusing instead on stability until a permanent managerial appointment arrives.
Dalot Seen as Immediate Solution for Real Madrid
According to reports from Spain, Real Madrid consider Dalot an immediate and reliable solution to their defensive depth issues.
Dani Carvajal’s long-term injury and Trent Alexander-Arnold’s adaptation struggles have forced Madrid to reassess their right-back options.
Dalot’s consistency, physical strength, and experience at the highest level have made him an appealing candidate.
The Portuguese defender has made over 250 appearances for Manchester United since arriving from Porto in 2018.
At 26 years old, Dalot fits Real Madrid’s preference for players entering their peak years, reports Football Fan Cast.
Former United coach Ruben Amorim previously praised Dalot’s power, versatility, and effectiveness during demanding Premier League fixtures.
Although Bayern Munich are also monitoring him, Madrid’s stature could prove decisive in any potential move, with United possibly tempted to negotiate a strong offer.
