Man Utd fans convinced Real Madrid star would be ‘best signing in years’ after shock transfer link for £85m ace

MANCHESTER UNITED fans are convinced that Real Madrid star Rodrygo would be their “best signing in years” after being linked with the £85million forward.

Rodrygo, 23, has been at Real Madrid since 2018 after a £38m move from Santos.

He has gone on to become a key player for Los Blancos, scoring 50 goals in 206 games.

Rodrygo has switched from playing out wide to starring as Real’s No9 this term.

And he’s picked up a host of trophies at the Bernabeu, including two LaLiga titles and a Champions League.

However, the 20-time Brazil international’s future at Real has been thrown into doubt.

The Spanish giants have reportedly agreed to sign Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain.

It’s reckoned the French forward will pocket a huge salary in the capital.

And Real are also set to welcome Brazilian prodigy Endrick, who also plays in Rodrygo’s two positions.

It means that Carlo Ancelotti may need to sell one of his current players to accommodate the new arrivals.

Real are believed to be looking for £85m to let Rodrygo leave.

Arsenal have been linked with a move.

But it’s United who are leading the charge as they seek a statement signing under Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

And the links have gone down well with fans, who believe Rodrygo has all the makings of an Old Trafford great.

One said: “Rodrygo would be our best signing in years.”

Another declared: “He should come to United without any doubt.”

One noted: “Sign him, sign him, sign him.”

Another added: “The ideal Marcus Rashford replacement.”
