This January saw Malcom’s future at the centre of a rather lengthy saga, with the player seemingly keen to leave Ligue 1 for the Premier League.
Bordeaux were understandably against their star man leaving midway through the season, even with reports claiming they could have made around €50m from Tottenham, who were prepared to cough up a club record fee for the Brazilian.
However, if Girondins4Ever are to be believed, and we’re not 100% sure they are but we’ll cover it anyway, Wembley isn’t the 20-year-old’s favoured destination.
Old Trafford is.
According to the fan led website, who claim they have their own information on the matter, Malcom has told his entourage he would love to join Manchester United, a club who might be looking to freshen up their right-wing in the summer.
With José Mourinho seemingly adamant to play Alexis Sanchez down the left, blocking off the likes of Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, Juan Mata appears to be the only man trusted by the Portuguese manager to start on the other side of Lukaku.
Having seen his contract extended by a year recently, the Spaniard appears set for an extra year at Old Trafford unless an offer Manchester United deem fair magically pops up for 29-year-old in the summer.
However, with so much work to do in the midfield and in the full-back position on top of having recently signed Alexis Sanchez, it seems unlikely that Mourinho would also request a new attacking player in the summer without selling one of the options already at his disposal.
Although, who knows? Stranger things have happened.
