MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly looking to prise away Real Madrid’s versatile star Lucas Vazquez in January.
The 29-year-old – who has featured in 12 games in all competitions this season – could be available on the cheap with his contract set to expire next summer.

And with the player free to negotiate with clubs in the New Year, Los Blancos are keen to avoid losing him on a free.
According to Fichajes.net, the Red Devils are lining up an offer of around £14million for the Spain international.
They state that the right winger – who has often been deployed as a right-back this term – could be brought in to provide competition for Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
However they state that Zinedine Zidane may be reluctant to part ways with the three-time Champions League winner due to his fondness of him.
Real fan Vazquez has never played outside his native country having come through the club’s academy.
Since making his debut in the 2015-16 season, he has chipped in with 24 goals in 218 games, winning 11 major honours.
Vazquez isn’t the only player United are said to be looking to bring to Old Trafford from Madrid.
It has also been claimed that Atletico ace Kieran Trippier is a possible target for the club.
The former Tottenham defender has 18 months on his contract at the Wanda Metropolitano, with United believed to be monitoring his situation.
Just like with Vazquez, Trippier would be signed to initially provide cover for Wan-Bissaka.
Trippier has featured in all of Atletico’s ten LaLiga games this term, with Diego Simeone’s men sitting top of the table having conceded just two goals.
