Manchester United are reportedly plotting a daring double raid on Real Madrid to address two major issues in their squad.
According to sources, the Red Devils are keen on signing Real Madrid duo Aurelien Tchouameni and Andriy Lunin in the summer transfer window.
Midfield Reinforcement and Goalkeeping Solution
With Christian Eriksen’s contract set to expire in June and Casemiro potentially on his way out, Manchester United are in dire need of midfield reinforcement.
Tchouameni, a highly-rated French international, has emerged as a top target for the Red Devils.
Meanwhile, Andriy Lunin, Real Madrid’s second-choice goalkeeper, is being eyed as the ideal replacement for Andre Onana, who has struggled to impress at Old Trafford.

Lunin’s impressive performances for Real Madrid, including 20 clean sheets in 58 appearances, have caught the attention of Manchester United’s scouts.
Tchouameni’s Availability and Lunin’s Contract Situation
While Tchouameni has been a key player for Real Madrid this season, making 37 appearances in all competitions, there are indications that he may be available for transfer in the summer.
Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti has publicly backed the midfielder, but senior figures at the club are reportedly open to offers.
Lunin, on the other hand, signed a new contract with Real Madrid in September 2024, which runs until June 2028.
However, the Ukrainian goalkeeper may be tempted by the prospect of becoming Manchester United’s number one goalkeeper next season.
A Statement of Intent from Manchester United?
Signing Tchouameni and Lunin would be a significant statement of intent from Manchester United, demonstrating their ambition to strengthen their squad and compete with the best teams in the Premier League and Champions League.
