Premier League heavyweights Manchester United have been offered the opportunity to sign Real Madrid Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr.
Madrid have made Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe their top target, though they need to raise funds via player sales.
United and Madrid are already in talks over the potential signing of defender Raphael Varane this summer.
And according to The Mirror, United have also been offered the Brazilian winger, with a loan move that turns into a permanent deal seen as the ‘most likely option’.

One stumbling clock for United though is that Real Madrid want a minimum of £68.5m for the 21-year-old.
United are already expected to announce the signing of Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho at any time, with a £73m deal agreed.
Vinicius is said to be disappointed that the LaLiga side are looking to move him on, given the fact that new manager Carlo Ancelotti hopes to keep him.
But Madrid are looking to raise around €150m (£128m) to sign Mbappe this summer despite his contract at PSG expiring next year.
Vinicius joined Madrid in the summer of 2018, a year after the club agreed a £36m deal to sign him from Brazilian side Flamengo.
Since his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu, he has scored 15 goals in 118 appearances.

This Vicinious Junior na final hype… Black Brazilians get hype like die… I see him as average dude.
The boy is not good. I’ve watched him several times. He is just average. How he managed to get a Real Madrid deal is hard to imagine….his agent sabi work abeg.
You right, even he is way below average, and he refuse to improve. Rodrigo have goal and ball sense way better than him. Better they move him men.
Madrid is never a place for a young player…except maybe you are coming from the academy….its an ocean too big for a small fish no matter how good you are from where you are coming. Even Madrid academy players struggle most times. Apart from Marcelo and Raul, Im struggling to recall an u20 player who didnt flop in Madrid.
Varane, Benz, Ramos, all join before 21yrs, and they still very much relevant, accepted the stage can’t be higher than Madrid, but yet this vini got lots of opportunity to improve himself with hazard all season injury, but he flop big time to the extend Benz and mendy gat voice out openly to correct him, that guy is Valencia, Villarreal and probable athletico level.
The boy is a fantastic player.
All he need is just a little more time and opportunity…..
