Manchester United is reportedly preparing to make a bid for Endrick, the forward currently at Real Madrid, during the upcoming January transfer window. The Red Devils are looking to bolster their attacking options after focusing on midfield reinforcements this summer, with notable signings like Carlos Baleba, Youri Tielemans, and Andrey Santos joining Old Trafford.

Manager Michael Carrick appears to be assessing his front three, especially after a slow start for Benjamin Sesko in the Premier League and uncertainty surrounding Joshua Zirkzee's future. According to Fichajes, United is ready to make an offer in the region of €60-70 million for Endrick, aiming to enhance their squad.

Despite the interest from Manchester United, Real Madrid is keen on retaining the 20-year-old talent. Speculation around Endrick's future had intensified over the summer; however, Fabrizio Romano reported that he was never likely to leave Madrid, debunking rumors linking him to Arsenal and Liverpool. Romano confirmed, "Endrick is absolutely not a target for Arsenal this summer," and noted that while Liverpool inquired about him, the response from Real was clear: they want to keep him.

In addition, the situation of Joshua Zirkzee warrants attention as he has emerged as a potential target for Everton. United might consider offloading Zirkzee before pursuing new signings, which could facilitate a smoother deal for Endrick later on. Despite being part of Real's plans for now, if Endrick’s form does not improve, his future could be in jeopardy as the winter window approaches.
