Real Madrid are facing susceptibilities in all their defensive and offensive areas, they might turn to Manchester United to address the issues.
Real Madrid sold Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus for over 100 million euros earlier this year, but they have failed to replace the club’s all-time top goal scorer who potentially scored 50 goals every season. Florentino Perez made the big mistake of trusting Gareth Bale and Marco Asensio in the Portuguese’s place, but it’s fair to say that both of them have flopped.
The Whites have now monitored several targets as replacements to the Juventus winger and now feel that reigniting interest in former Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez could be a good idea, given that they could also end up signing him in the January transfer window itself. And if Real are desperate, Sanchez could very well be headed to Madrid.

Since signing for Manchester United in January this year, Sanchez’s game has taken a massive dip. Having scored less than five goals for the Red Devils across the year, he is being considered a waste of money and Jose Mourinho has resorted to even leaving the Chile international out of the squad at times.
However, it is believed that the former Arsenal winger still has a lot to give and may succeed in an attacking system which suits his style. Sanchez has flourished at Barcelona and Arsenal where there used to be an aggressive gameplay but the fact that he has gone from a hero to zero at the Old Trafford is hard to digest. As many point out, the tactics may not be suiting him.
The 29-year-old may be at a benefit by heading to Real Madrid given that he has a chance to resuscitate his career and probably fill in the shoes of one of the world’s all-time greats. However, he will have to take a pay cut because the Whites will certainly not listen to his hefty wage demands and will be completely okay with moving away.
While it is a big risk from Real Madrid’s side as well, Alexis could succeed. He already has some experience of the Spanish top-flight and Santiago Solari’s forward minded approach may just suit him. In addition to that, he will have players like Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale who would readily welcome him into the attacking department.
