Reports: Manchester United Monitoring Vinicius Junior at Pochettino’s Direction

Reports say Manchester United are monitoring Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior, with coach Mauricio Pochettino interested in the possibility of signing him. Fichajes reports that Pochettino sees the player as a potential option for his attacking plans as the winter transfer window approaches.

The report says Vinicius has scored 128 goals in 375 matches for Real Madrid, but has scored one goal and provided three assists in 12 appearances this season, and is no longer an automatic starter, according to the source. It also noted that Arsenal are monitoring his situation, with no announced decision on his departure.

The player is under contract with Real Madrid until June 2032, making any transfer complicated. For now, Vinicius remains a player under observation, not one close to completing a move, while it remains unclear whether the Spanish club would agree to consider his departure.
