Real Madrid appears to be lacking in resources up front, but Manchester United has supplied a band-aid remedy.

With their forward options narrowing, United reportedly made Los Blancos an offer for striker Antony Martial. Only Rodrygo Goes, Joselu Mato, and Brahim Diaz can play in front of their midfield diamond due to Vinicius Junior’s injury. It would be a loan agreement with a buyout clause at the end of the campaign.

Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, declared the transfer window closed for his team on Thursday, but that was before Vinicius went missing.

Martial has failed in La Liga in the past, and there may be concerns about his ability to produce at the Santiago Bernabeu, so it seems doubtful that they will sign him. However, Martial’s style fits the part Vinicius has been playing since he is a direct and quick danger who can rush at defenders and come from behind.
