Report: Manchester United, Arsenal keen on Real Madrid youngster Marco Asensio

Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio has emerged as a transfer target for Manchester United and Arsenal, according to reports.

The 21-year-old scored 10 times in all competitions for Los Blancos last term, including three in eight Champions League appearances as the Spanish giants retained the trophy.

Asensio also starred for Spain Under-21s at the Under-21 European Championships earlier this summer, the attacker inspiring his team to the final of the competition.

According to Spanish outlet Don Balon, the Red Devils and the Gunners are willing to spend big money on Asensio in a bid to try to persuade Real to part with their young star.

Juventus are also reported to be interested in Asensio, who only joined the Bernabeu outfit from Mallorca in 2015.
