Manchester United are considering a move for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo as they look to add more firepower to their attack this summer.
The Brazil international has been used in several roles for Madrid and remains an important part of their squad, but United believe there could be an opening if the Spanish giants reshape their front line. United’s recruitment team are understood to be tracking Rodrygo’s situation closely, with the player valued at a substantial fee and still tied down on a long-term contract.
United’s interest comes as the club continues to plan for a busy window. Injuries and inconsistency have left their forward line short at times this season, and the club wants another proven option who can play off either flank or through the middle. Rodrygo’s pace, movement and big-game record make him an attractive fit, though any deal would likely depend on outgoings and Madrid’s willingness to negotiate.
While United explore options in Spain, another major name is being linked with a possible Premier League switch. Liverpool right back Trent Alexander-Arnold is said to be weighing up his future, with his long-term contract situation continuing to draw attention. The England international has been a key figure at Anfield for years, but there is increasing uncertainty around what comes next.
Alexander-Arnold has consistently been associated with Real Madrid, yet there is also believed to be interest within the Premier League should he become available. Any move would be one of the biggest domestic transfers in years, given his status and the impact he has had for Liverpool both defensively and in possession.
The coming weeks could be decisive as clubs position themselves ahead of the summer market. United are expected to explore several attacking targets, but Rodrygo is emerging as one of the standout names on their list. Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold’s decision could spark a major battle if the door to a top-flight move in England opens.
