Real Madrid star Marco Asensio speaks out on his future after being offered to Manchester United by Jorge Mendes

Marco Asensio admits he could be at a crossroads in his Real Madrid career amid rumours he has been offered to Manchester United by super-agent Jorge Mendes.

The 26-year-old’s contract at the Bernabeu expires in 2023 and a contract extension is unlikely, with this summer representing Real’s last opportunity to cash in on the winger.

After overcoming his injury problems, Asensio made 31 appearances in Real’s title-winning La Liga campaign – scoring 10 times – and also made eight appearances en route to Champions League glory.

But with his future at the club in doubt, Spanish television show El Chiringuito claim Mendes has been looking for a new team for his client and has offered him to new United boss Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman has identified the right wing as an area of his squad that needs strengthening and wants to sign an attacker, having also been linked with the likes of Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech and former Ajax charge Antony.

Now Asensio himself has opened the door to a potential exit despite being happy in the Spanish capital – and insists manager Carlo Ancelotti still has faith in him – and he will make a decision on his future in the coming weeks.

‘I have one more year in my contract yet here we are talking about me leaving Real Madrid. This is an important moment for me, I will not deny it,’ he told AS.
