Manchester United stands a chance to acquire a Real Madrid star after a clash with a teammate during training, potentially leading to his departure from the club.
Spanish media outlet Marca reported that Manchester United, the Premier League giant nicknamed the "Red Devils," has a golden opportunity to sign Aurelien Tchouameni, the French international midfielder from Real Madrid, following a dispute with his teammate Federico Valverde during training.
The outlet stated that Tchouameni and Valverde had one of the fiercest arguments ever seen at Real Madrid's training ground on Wednesday. The incident started from a foul during practice, with both players shoving each other before the confrontation escalated violently and spilled into the locker room.
The latest report says that Tchouameni and Valverde clashed again today (Thursday), resulting in Valverde being taken to the hospital.
Neither player has responded to reports about their dispute, but tensions at Real Madrid are at a peak, making it likely that one of them will leave the team due to this incident.
Valverde is Real Madrid's vice-captain, so it is highly unlikely the club will sell him this summer. This means Tchouameni could be the player to be sold if the club takes decisive action after the season ends.
This situation works in Manchester United's favor, as they are seeking a new midfielder to replace Casemiro, who is set to leave Old Trafford after this season. Tchouameni is a key target for the Red Devils, who are closely monitoring his situation at Real Madrid.
