Manchester United have reportedly submitted an offer for the Real Madrid defender Eder Militao.

The 28-year-old has performed well for the Spanish club and could prove an excellent addition to Manchester United. Harry Maguire is in the twilight stages of his career, and Manchester United needs to replace him properly in future.

Manchester United were interested in Militao before he joined Real Madrid.

Man United could use Eder Militao

The Brazilian defender could be ideal for them. He is at the peak of his powers, and he could make an immediate impact in English football. He has the quality and the leadership abilities as well. Furthermore, he has won major trophies with Real Madrid, and he knows what it takes to compete at the highest level regularly.

Manchester United need players like him in the team if they want to dominate English football once again. According to a report from Fichajes, the club has offered €40 million (£35m) for the South American defender. Real Madrid are analysing the offer, and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to sanction the Brazilian’s departure. Even though he is an important player for Real Madrid, they recognise that his departure could boost their finances and help them improve multiple areas of the team. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
