Real Madrid’s exciting new signing to debut against Manchester United – report
Real Madrid mounted a strong second-half display against AC Milan to record a 3-2 win on their first game of the pre-season tour. The game was far from perfect but had enough silver lining for Carlo Ancelotti to work with.
One of the biggest talking points of the game was Jude Bellingham. The English prodigy made his debut in the white colours on the night and left a strong impression on the management with his performance. In fact, Ancelotti sang praises of the midfielder’s abilities in his post-match press conference.
“He’s a fantastic player, very important for us because he’s a complete midfielder and he brings real pace and intensity to the game.”
While Bellingham had his special moment in last night’s game, Arda Guler surprisingly stayed on the bench throughout. He was not called on by the manager even at half-time presumably out of precaution over the discomfort in his right leg.
According to reports from MARCA, Guler is expected to make his debut for Real Madrid against Manchester United later this week. Similar to Bellingham last night, he could even start the game at NRG Stadium.
Despite being just 18 years of age, the Turkish star has left a strong impression on the Real Madrid management. He is said to be performing at a very high level in training so far and is pushing for a starting spot under the manager this term.
Reports from last week reveal that Luka Modric has taken Guler under his wing in training. The Croatian legend, in fact, sees the teenager to be his successor in the long run.
All Real Madrid fans will thus have their eyes glued to the action on Wednesday night when Los Blancos take on the Red Devils in Texas. After all, it could well be the debut of one of the team’s biggest stars for the next decade.

Manchester United launch final push to sign Real Madrid outcast; club resists permanent exit
Manchester United are stepping up their pursuit of Endrick as the Brazilian forward’s future at Real Madrid becomes increasingly uncertain, with a potential January loan move emerging as a solution to his lack of regular playing time.
According to Bernabeu Digital, Manchester United are making a final push to convince the 19-year-old to join them.
However, negotiations could prove complicated because the Premier League club is interested in including a purchase option in the deal, while Real Madrid are not currently planning to give up permanent control of the striker.
Endrick’s limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season have opened the door to a temporary departure, with AC Milan and Tottenham also emerging as potential destinations.
Why Manchester United want Endrick?
Manchester United are looking for greater attacking productivity and believe Endrick could provide a different dimension to their forward line.
The Premier League club has also been linked with the Brazilian in the past, as they assess options to improve their goalscoring output after a poor start to the season.
Notably, his situation at Real Madrid makes a move more plausible, as Endrick has struggled to secure consistent minutes, and the club is considering a loan that would give him the chance to play regularly.
However, United’s preferred terms could become the biggest obstacle.
The English side reportedly wants the option to buy Endrick at the end of the loan, potentially giving them a route to a permanent transfer if he impresses.
Real Madrid reject permanent Endrick exit
Real Madrid’s preference is understood to be a straightforward loan without a purchase option.
The club want Endrick to gain experience elsewhere before returning to compete for a place in the squad, rather than risk losing a young forward they have invested in for the future.
His previous loan spell at Lyon provides a possible model for another temporary move, although any agreement would depend on the terms offered and the player’s own preferences.
Manchester United are prepared to make an attractive financial proposal in an effort to secure his arrival, but money alone may not resolve the disagreement if Real Madrid remain unwilling to include a purchase clause.
