Manchester United have found it difficult to score goals this season with nobody apart from summer signing Rasmus Hojlund breaching the ten-goal barrier.
After netting 30 times across all competitions in the last campaign and earning a new long-term deal, it was expected that Marcus Rashford would carry on in the same vein to usher in a successful new era under Erik ten Hag.
However, the Mancunian has managed only eight goals this term while his commitment has been questioned time and again with the forward looking like he is not enjoying his football.
There have been quite a few off-field issues as well including the 12-hour tequila bender at Belfast which forced the manager to drop the England international for one game.
New attacking reinforcements
There have been multiple links with Paris Saint-Germain, who remain interested with Kylian Mbappe reportedly set to depart for Real Madrid next summer. And INEOS are also open to a sale if they get a great offer.
And multiple reports have suggested Vinicius Junior’s time at the Bernabeu could be coming to an end if the World Cup winner were to arrive.
As relayed by The Peoples Person, the Red Devils were willing to offer up to €200 million for the Brazilian genius who has 18 goals and eight assists this season.
However, Defensa Central have poured cold water on these outlandish claims, with Florentino Perez unlikely to sanction the sale of the 23-year-old.
“Real Madrid are not contemplating the departure of Vinícius Júnior at this time. Even if an offer of 200 million euros arrived this summer, Real Madrid’s response would be negative.
No Vinicius
“Vinícius is happy at Real Madrid, the best club in the world. Leaving following the arrival of Kylian Mbappé would be akin to leaving “defeated”. He wants to make history in the biggest club, and little by little he is achieving it.”
Real manager Carlo Ancelotti has called the Brazil international “the best in the world” and there is no reason for the two-time La Liga winner and one-time Champions League winner to leave.
And considering the current FFP restrictions, the 20-time English league champions are in no position to pull off such humongous moves in the market.
The Peoples Person also relayed that Vini’s teammate Rodrygo also has no desire to quit the Bernabeu for Old Trafford.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already indicated that under the INEOS regime, the club will try and unearth the next superstar instead of buying him and that seems like the correct way of approaching the market.
