Real Madrid are no strangers to signing players from United, the most notable being Cristiano Ronaldo.

And this time they are said to be going after the club's No 17 instead of No 7.

Spanish outlet Real Madrid Exclusivo claim Perez wants to make a move for United winger Alejandro Garnacho and use the same tactic he used to sign Ronaldo.

The 19-year-old winger has established himself as an important member of Erik ten Hag's team with seven goals and four assists in 38 appearances this season.

Madrid president Florentino Perez reportedly wants to meet Garnacho in Manchester 

The report claims Madrid have been watching closely and Perez wants to meet the player when the team travel to Manchester to face Man City in the Champions League next month. 

Garnacho played the full 120 minutes as United beat rivals Liverpool 4-3 to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday, assisting the winner in the last play of extra-time.

Garnacho joined United from Atletico Madrid for a fee of £420,000 in 2020 and made his debut two years later.

He has already made 74 appearances for the club at the age of 19, making over 20 goal contributions.
