After Leny Yoro, Manchester United Breaks in to Snatch Another Player From Madrid

Last summer, Real Madrid had everything agreed with Leny Yoro for his arrival at the white team. His signing seemed clear, but Manchester United burst in with a much higher offer. Meanwhile, Jorge Mendes managed to convince the French center-back to accept it.

That left the Merengues without the defender they wanted, and they didn't have an alternative plan after that. This has harmed them this season and has led Raúl Asencio to take an unexpected step forward. A story that could repeat itself since United wants more.

The Manchester team has set its sights on another footballer related to Real Madrid. This time it's Lunin, whom they are tempting to leave in the summer. At least that's what Eduardo Inda has assured on El Chiringuito.

"Manchester United wants Lunin to replace Onana, the Cameroonian goalkeeper," the journalist pointed out. They seem willing to make an effort to take him for the next season. Despite his renewal at the beginning of this term, they see it as very feasible.

Two Factors Can Help Lunin's Departure

Although he has an active contract, at Real Madrid they don't find it unreasonable that Lunin might end up leaving. There are two factors that can help with this and that they will need to address if they want to prevent it. Especially if they still think the Ukrainian is the future bet for the goal.

On one hand, although he renewed, he's not getting playing time as he is Courtois's backup. The Belgian has played everything except the Cup and has only left Lunin when he hasn't been available. A situation that doesn't seem likely to change for the next term.

But it's also important to consider that Lunin's representative is Jorge Mendes. At Real Madrid, they already know all the tricks the Portuguese agent is capable of. Added to this is the fact that he has a good relationship with Manchester United, which could facilitate his transfer.
