According to The Telegraph, United have been offered a cheaper alternative to Antony as Marco Asensio has been made available for £25million.
Marco Asensio is now in the final year of his contract with Madrid and the Champions League holders would rather secure a transfer fee for him this summer than see him leave on a free next year.
The 26-year-old has played just seven minutes across both of Madrid's La Liga matches so far this season.
"I do not know what will happen," Ancelotti told Movistar about Asensio's situation after the Champions League draw on Thursday. "He is looking at something to see if he can get out."
Marco Asensio has made 236 appearances for the club since joining from Mallorca in 2014, scoring 49 goals and winning five Champions League titles.
But his career has undoubtedly stalled and United could offer the perfect stage for the Spain international to kickstart his career again. But would he represent an upgrade on the options currently at Ten Hag's disposal?
We've compared Marco Asensio's La Liga stats for the 2021-22 season with the Premier League stats of United's attacking midfield and wide forward options over the same period.
Marco Asensio's long-range effort proves to be the winner for Real Madrid! 💥

Javier Saviola's transfer to FC Barcelona from River Plate was the record fee for any teenager till it was later broken by Wayne Rooney. After scoring 24 goals in 41 matches, besides his 11 assists for River Plate, while winning the Argentine league in consecutive years, Saviola became the star FC Barcelona were looking for.
However, the transfer did not work that well for both him and the club as he was loaned out many times and went to play for Real Madrid in future as well.Saviola was recently the assistant manager of the Barcelona U19 team as well.

One of England’sgreatest ever talents, Rooney was signed for a then-record fee for a teenager. His all-around attacking prowess, vision, and finishing skill justified the huge investment.
In the 2003/04 season for Everton, Rooney had already scored nine goals in the Premier League as a teenager, which made Sir Alex Ferguson sign the youngster for a record €37m.

17. Luke Shaw – Southampton to Manchester United – 2014/15 – €37.5m (Age 18)

A highly rated left-back, Shaw was signed for his blend of strong defensive skills and speed. He was seen as the next big defender from England after John Terry, as he had done quite well at Southampton and England U-21s then.
Luke Shaw was bought by Manchester United in 2014 with a transfer fee of €37.5 million, making him one of the most expensive teenage footballers ever.
Despite serious injury setbacks, he has developed into a dependable member of United’s backline since then and continues to be a member of Ruben Amorim's team.
16. Yankuba Minteh – Newcastle United to Brighton – 2024 – €38.8m (Age 19)

14. Fabio Silva – Porto to Wolves – 2020/21 – €40m (Age 18)
Image | Wolves
Portuguese striker Fabio Silva came with impressive youth goal-scoring records for FC Porto U19 and the FC Porto team from the 2018-2020 season. Seeing his talent, Wolves paid a significant fee of €40m, hoping that his technical finishing and physicality would translate well into Premier League success.
However, he was soon loaned to various clubs. Last season, he joined the team after spending a season at UD Las Palmas on loan.
13. Vitor Roque – Athletico Paranaense to FC Barcelona – 2024 – €40m (Age 19)

Image | Spurs News
A promising English defensive midfielder, Archie Gray, made a high-profile resume after winning the U21 Euros and doing well for Leeds United.

11. Jorrel Hato – Ajax to Chelsea – 2025 – €44.18m (Age 19)

Dutch defender Jorrel Hato, who came through Ajax’s ranks, secured a big move to Chelsea. With Enzo Maresca and Chelsea’s long-term strategic vision for rebuilding their defence, Hato was supposed to be the next big thing for the Blues.
The left-back has a knack for scoring and contributing to goals as well. He had eight goal contributions in the 2024/25 Eredivisie for Ajax.
10. Franco Mastantuono – River Plate to Real Madrid - 2025 - €45m (Age 18)
Image | Fabrizio Romano/X
With a €45 million coming on 14th August 2025, Argentine U21 star Franco Mastantuono is all set to be the most expensive teenager in the football transfer window of the 2025/26 season.

Image | Real Madrid on X
Real Madrid and Brazilian youngsters have always been a love affair made in heaven. After scoring 10 goals and assisting four times in 32 goals for Flamengo in the 2017-18 season, Vinicius Jr.’s electrifying pace, dribbling, and flair made him a valued acquisition for Real Madrid.

8. Rodrygo – Santos to Real Madrid – 2019 – €45m (Age 18)
Image | Real Madrid on X
As I was saying, Real Madrid and Brazilian teenage stars stand in a love affair made in heaven.
Following Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo was signed to strengthen Real Madrid’s attack with a versatile winger capable of playing across the frontline. Rodrygo had already done well for Santos in the previous season, which caught the eyes of Los Blancos, and soon he was signed for €45m
Since then, he has won three La Liga titles and two Champions League titles with the club, while scoring 68 crucial goals and providing 51 assists.
7. Endrick – Palmeiras to Real Madrid – 2024 – €47.5m (Age 18)
Image | Real Madrid on X
Now it would be boring for you if I repeated the same thing. Butwhat can I do if we have three back-to-back, same transfer patterns on our list of the most expensive teenagers in football transfer history?
Hailed as one of Brazil’s brightest prospects, Endrick’s prolific youth scoring and sharp finishing caught the eye of Real Madrid.
Endrick was brought to Bernabeu by Carlo Ancelotti after he helped Palmeiras win the Brazilian league in successive previous seasons.
6. Anthony Martial – Monaco to Manchester United – 2015 – €60m (Age 19)

5. Leny Yoro – Lille to Manchester United – 2024 – €62m (Age 18)
Image | Fabrizio Romano on X
Manchester United invested heavily in Leny Yoro’s defensive attributes, physicality, and maturity beyond his years.Yoro was signed by United under Erik ten Hag for €62m, a record transfer fee for a teenage defender.

4. Romeo Lavia – Southampton to Chelsea – 2023 – €62.1m (Age 19)
Image | Chelsea FC
Belgian midfielder Romeo Lavia’s combination of technical skill, tactical intelligence, and defensive contributions enticed Chelsea to pay a club-record fee of €62.1m for a teenager.
Lavia was first discovered by Manchester City, where he flourished for the Manchester City U-21 and U-23 teams. Then, he did well for Southampton to be able to attract a large bid from Chelsea.
3. Matthijs de Ligt – Ajax to Juventus – 2019 – €85.5m (Age 19)
Image | Ajax
Matthijs De Ligt captained a young Ajax side to the 2018/19 Champions League semifinals and even scored a decisive goal for them in the quarter-finals. Juventus rewarded him with one of the highest fees ever for a teenage defender when he was bought for a record fee for a teenage defender, €85.5m.

At 25, he has now signed for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr FC.
In the 2016/17 season, Mbappe scored 28 goals and had 14 assists in 46 games for Monaco, which had set him up as one of the greatest footballing talents on earth. Among those 28 goals, 6 were in the Champions League in just 9 games.

Premier League jerseys of each club for the 2025-26 season
Before the Premier League 2025-26 season starts, here are the Premier League jerseys of each club for the upcoming 2025-26 season. Every team have released their home, away and third kit.
Although fans have some time to wait before the Premier League 2025/26 season, the preparation for the teams is definitely underway. All the teams in the league have already revealed their home and away kits for the upcoming season.
While each kit will keep the team colours, there are always new ways to play with the look for both home and away.
Here are all the 2025-26 Premier League jerseys for each club in alphabetical order.
Arsenal
Arsenal’s new kit for their men’s and women’s teams leans into nostalgia with the red shirt, trimmed with white shoulders and red detailing, featuring the letter 'A' on the badge at the forefront, in a reference to the 1990-91 title-winning season.
Aston Villa
The design includes nods to the home city of Birmingham, with design details inspired by the iconic Bullring, where the team has a new fan store.
AFC Bournemouth
The red and black stripes are a little broader than usual and the metallic gold trim adds a sprinkling of glitz. It's unlikely to make much of an impact outside of the immediate vicinity of the Vitality Stadium.
Brentford
Brentford's latest home shirt celebrates the 100th anniversary of the team adopting red and white stripes as their official club colours. Naturally, the design is just that, with the heritage faux lace-up collar being the only real retro appointment of note, a nod to the first batch of home jerseys worn by the Bees in 1925.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Rather than the standard yellow trim, this season's familiar blue-and-white stripes are accompanied by accents of minty turquoise, like the rails that run along the city's seafront.
The new kit has been designed to visually encapsulate the rugged landscape that surrounds Burnley and celebrate the beauty of Lancashire.
Chelsea
Chelsea have revealed their sleek away kit, with a largely white look, accented with red and green. Meanwhile, the home kit has its standard blue colour with dark blue texture all over the kit.
Crystal Palace
After a few years of more experimental and off-piste designs, the Eagles' new home jersey features clean red and blue stripes with all the extra detailing picked out in white.
Everton
This one comes in a beautiful shade of creamy yellow and includes subtle references to the industrial heritage of the Bramley-Moore docklands, the site of the club's new stadium. The pattern on the sleeves references the old railway lines that ran in and out of the area and have since been reinstalled as a heritage attraction.
Fulham
Fulham's association with Adidas has brought a beautiful, bright white kit with black stripes on the shoulder and crest.
Liverpool FC
Liverpool started their partnership with Adidas this year. Their home kit with the red and white combo looks like one of the best jerseys of the season. Their away kit will have white as the dominant colour with red stripes on the shoulders.
The blocky, tessellating pattern found on the collar and cuff is actually a replication of the yellow and blue tile pattern found in the Lowfields Tunnel near Elland Road.
Manchester City
Keeping the typical sky blue colour, Man City have adopted a new look, with a white slash across the front and minimalistic emphasis on its sponsors.
Manchester United
This design is fairly traditional, with a solid red base and sparse black-and-white trim. However, the material does contain a subtle reference to Old Trafford via a smattering of dots and stripes.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United’s 2025/26 kit doesn’t just look good, but also does good, with £5 per shirt sold going to the Newcastle United Foundation.
Nottingham Forest
With a folding collar and immaculate white pinstriping inspired by the revered home shirt of 1992-1994.
Sunderland
A lovely bit of retro-infused handiwork from Danish brand Hummel here, who have used Sunderland's cult classic 1989-91 away kit as inspiration for a demure maritime-themed jersey that is covered in a pattern made up of local coastal landmarks, including the Roker Beach lighthouse.

Manchester United records that may never be broken
87 years of having Academy graduates in the squad: Dating back to 30th October 1937, Manchester United have had an academy graduate in every single matchday squad since a staggering run of 87 years.
Fewest goals conceded at home in a single season: Manchester United incredibly conceded just four goals at Old Trafford throughout the 1994/95 campaign, which also happened to be the final 42-game season.
Longest run without conceding a goal (1,113 minutes): The 2008/09 season saw Manchester United fare slightly better than the aforementioned 1994/95 campaign, and they even had another dizzying defensive record to match. Between November 15th and February 18th, Edwin van Der Sar managed to keep 14 consecutive clean sheets, setting a record for the longest run without conceding a goal - a total of 1,113 minutes, which still stands today.
Trick of league titles (twice): Pep Guardiola and Manchester City may have become the first side to win four consecutive top-flight titles, but their neighbours still hold an almighty feat when it comes to winning the league trophy on the bounce. In the years between 1998 and 2001, and then again between 2006 and 2009, Manchester United achieved a three-peat of league titles on two separate occasions.
Invincible away from home: Manchester United’s covid-stricken 2020/21 campaign saw them set a new record for the longest unbeaten run away from home in the Premier League.
League victory with the fewest points: Title winners now must aspire to hit at least 90 points or more if they are to clinch the league, but the 1996/97 campaign saw United win with a mere 75 points.
Most Premier League titles - 13: Manchester United have lifted 13 Premier League titles, which is five more than the next-nearest Manchester City who are slowly but surely catching up to their neighbours.
Longest unbeaten run by an English club in the UEFA Champions League: Although another of their eternal rivals Liverpool are the most successful English side in Europe, Manchester United still hold the longest unbeaten run in the continent’s elite club competition. From 2007 to 2009 - a period in which they lifted the Champions League and reached another final, United went 25 games unbeaten.
Never lost a home game when leading at halftime since 1984: Manchester United have managed to keep an astonishing home record intact since 1984. When leading at half-time at Old Trafford, they have not gone on to lose, a record that has stood since a defeat to Ipswich on May 7th 1984.
Jude Bellingham to miss twelve weeks after shoulder surgery in London
Real Madrid and England star midfielder Jude Bellingham has finally decided to undergo the shoulder surgery, which he injured in 2023. He will miss twelve weeks after shoulder surgery in London.
Real Madrid and England star midfielder Jude Bellingham has finally decided to undergo the shoulder surgery, which he injured in 2023. Jude had suffered the injury during his first season for the Los Blancos against Rayo Vallecano on November 5, 2023.
The 21-year-old star will go for surgery today and is all set to miss twelve weeks after shoulder surgery in London. He will return to action in mid-October, following the completion of his rehabilitation process.
Image | TNT Sports
Jude has been suffering from the pain for 2 years now. After dislocating the shoulder against Rayo Vallecano, Jude did not want to go for the surgery right away and decided to play with the pain. He started wearing a shoulder brace, which gave the shoulder a bit of solidity. Jude then went on to have a great 2023-24 season in which he won the La Liga, the Champions League, and the Spanish Super Cup with Real Madrid.
Image | talkSport
With time, although Jude's pain became a bit less, the shoulder brace started to frustrate him a bit. Due to wearing the shoulder brace for a long time, he was "losing a lot of weight from sweating so much". Not only that, he also mentioned that his "patience is running out" with all the limitations the brace was forcing on him.
So, eventually, after two years, Jude decided to let go of the problem and do the surgery.
An arthroscopic shoulder surgery will be done on Bellingham, and the full process of recovery can take more than three months. However, Fernando Ramos of the Spanish Association of Physiotherapists feels that players with similar injuries generally require four months to return to training, with competitive play resuming potentially five to six months post-surgery.
During his rehabilitation process, Jude will miss eight LaLiga matches and the beginning of the Champions League group stage for Real Madrid under new manager Xabi Alonso. Not only that, he will also miss England's World Cup qualifying fixtures against Andorra and Serbia in September 2025.
