The Real Madrid attacker would be an excellent signing for Manchester United.
Last season was bittersweet for Jose Mourinho and Manchester United.
The North West side achieved their best Premier League finish since 2013, but struggled to develop any real attacking fluency and were criticised heavily for their playing style.
Mourinho may now be looking to add extra attacking options, especially after Anthony Martial’s agent announced the Frenchman wants to leave the club this summer.
According to the Metro, United have placed a £100 million price tag on the 22-year-old with multiple clubs, including Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal, rumoured to be interested.
Marco Asensio has emerged as a potential replacement for the wantaway striker, with the Sun reporting that the Spaniard is looking to leave Real Madrid.
Having joined the Bernabeu from Mallorca for £3.25 million in August 2015, Ascencio broke into the Madrid team in the 2016/17 season and has made 91 appearances since, scoring 21 times.
The Spanish international, who offers versatility but performs best as a left winger, is direct, rapid with the ball at his feet and lethal in the final third.
Asensio is one of the most exciting young attackers in world football and has proven he can score big goals in big games. If United can land him, he would be more than just a replacement for Martial, he would be an improvement.
