Manchester United will ‘absolutely make an offer’ for Aurelien Tchouameni if Real Madrid show an indication they’d be willing to sell.
According to Manchester Evening News journalist Steven Railston, the Red Devils would ignite their pursuit if they ‘received the right signals’ from Madrid.
It's going to be fascinating to see how the Aurelien Tchouameni situation develops over the coming weeks #mufc https://t.co/g7Fuq2Ufrd

Why Madrid may have to offload Aurelien Tchouameni this summer
It is a situation that could develop in the coming days due to the Spanish giants agreeing a whopping £115.4 million deal for Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig.
Madrid are also now sizing up a move for Manchester City talisman Rodri, who has made it clear he’d be open to a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.
🚨 Rodri dreams of Real Madrid but there’s still no green light from Florentino Pérez to proceed with the move.
All depends on Real president and nothing has changed at this stage.

As a result, sales will be necessary in order for Los Blancos to be able to facilitate such costly arrivals – as well as make space for a new midfield addition in the form of Rodri.
Tchouameni would complete United’s midfield rebuild
Alas, United are one club who stand to potentially benefit from such deals.
Although Eduardo Camavinga is the midfielder that Jose Mourinho would most prefer to part ways with, they will be aware that he won’t command as high a fee as his counterpart Tchouameni, who has one suitor waiting in the wings ready to shell out for his signature.
United have admired the 26-year-old since he first began making a name for himself at AS Monaco, with a two-year spell that prompted Los Blancos to agree an £85m package for him.

Tchouameni himself has understandably stayed tight-lipped on his situation, and is currently enjoying his holidays following his involvement at the World Cup with France.
He played an integral role at the heart of Didier Deschamps’ squad as the 2018 winners reached the semi-finals before falling to a 2-0 defeat at the hands of eventual winners, Spain.
