Manchester United have registered an interest in signing Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic on loan, according to AS. The Madrid based publication says that the Red Devils are one of four teams keen on taking the Serbian international.

Real have already approved his departure on a temporary basis and while it is believed that Jovic “likes” the thought of moving the Old Trafford, a switch to Italy is seen as more realistic due to his chances of getting more game time.

Roma, AC Milan and Inter Milan are said to be leading the way to sign Jovic with the Giallorossi currently the favourites out of the three Serie A clubs with negotiations having started yesterday about the potential loan switch.

United seem to be more focused on signing a right-winger, rather than a striker, before deadline day anyway, with a bid for Borussia Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho expected before Monday’s transfer deadline.
