Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has urged his old club to attempt a summer move for Endrick, insisting the teenage striker would be an “explosive” addition to the squad.
The Brazilian forward, currently contracted to Real Madrid, has been in strong form while on loan at Olympique Lyonnais, where he has scored five goals and provided four assists in his first ten appearances since arriving in France earlier this year.
Evra believes the 19-year-old possesses the qualities required to thrive in the Premier League and strengthen Manchester United’s attack. Speaking about the youngster’s rise, the former France international said Endrick would be his first-choice signing if he could bring in a striker.
“I’ve always loved watching Endrick, even when he was in Brazil,” Evra said. “If I could sign one striker for Man United, I would choose Endrick — he would be a great signing.”
Evra also pointed to the forward’s recent resurgence in Ligue 1 after a challenging period breaking into Madrid’s star-studded squad. According to the United legend, the teenager’s resilience and attacking instincts make him an ideal long-term option for the Old Trafford side.
The former left-back also highlighted a surprising connection between the player and United’s history. Endrick has previously spoken about his admiration for club icon Bobby Charlton, a revelation Evra believes could strengthen the emotional appeal of a potential move.
“I couldn’t believe when Endrick said Bobby Charlton was his idol,” Evra added, inviting the Brazilian to consider a future at Old Trafford.
Could Endrick be interested in a move to United?
Despite the enthusiasm from Evra, a transfer would depend largely on Madrid’s plans for the young striker. The Spanish giants must decide whether to reintegrate him into their first-team plans next season or allow him to continue his development elsewhere.
From Endrick’s perspective, interest from United could present an intriguing opportunity. While Madrid remain one of the most prestigious clubs in world football, competition for attacking places at the Santiago Bernabéu is fierce, and regular playing time could be difficult to secure.
A move to Manchester United, by contrast, might offer a clearer pathway to becoming a central figure in a major European side. United are expected to strengthen their attacking options this summer, and a young striker with Endrick’s potential could appeal to the club’s long-term strategy.
However, the teenager may also be cautious about leaving Madrid too quickly. If he believes he can break into the Spanish club’s starting lineup in the near future, remaining in Spain could still be his preferred option.
