Real Madrid are reluctant to spend big on a new striker this summer which opens the door for Manchester United to take advantage.
LaLiga giants Real Madrid are reportedly not pursuing a move for Harry Kane or Kylian Mbappe this summer, preferring to wait for 2024 when both players would be at the end of their contracts.

Carlo Ancelotti's men have lost Karim Benzema to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad and have been heavily linked to a host of attacking replacements including Tottenham forward Harry Kane, Chelsea striker Kai Havertz and PSG's Kylian Mbappe.
However, according to Spanish outlet Cope, Real will wait till next summer to make a big move and instead sign Espanyol striker Joselu.
Joselu, 33, scored 16 goals for Espanyol last season and is on the verge of completing a dream move to the Bernabeu.
Boost for Manchester United
This could open the door for Manchester United to have a clean run at Harry Kane, although it is believed Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has a preference to sell the England captain overseas.
