"Manchester United are understood to have held some talks with Real Madrid over a loan transfer for Brazilian forward Endrick. However, as first reported here for the Daily Briefing, one key issue was that Man Utd wanted to have the option to make the deal permanent, which Real were absolutely not prepared to discuss. Los Blancos' talks with the Red Devils now look to have fallen through, with Endrick instead looking likely to head out to Lyon on a straightforward loan deal."
"Endrick has struggled for playing time at the Bernabeu and he'll surely want to be playing regular first-team football to aid his development. It seems Real also want that for the 19-year-old, who could then return to the Spanish capital with more experience and challenge for a place next season.

Real Madrid want Endrick to gain experience and return to challenge for a place next season. United are also assessing forward options amid doubts over Joshua Zirkzee and potential winter departures.
