Ancelotti plots Madrid raid for Man Utd full-back

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti is on the verge of raiding  Manchester United for Diogo Dalot.

Ancelotti returned to Madrid earlier this month having walked away from Everton.

And the 62-year-old has a big rebuilding job on his hands at the Bernabeu.

Sergio Ramos has left the club after 16 years of service, with David Alaba arriving to replace him.

There is speculation over the future of a number of Madrid players, including Raphael Varane, who is thought to be keen on a move to Old Trafford.

But Ancelotti’s focus is on incomings and he’s said to be turning to United for a new full-back.

Correio de Manha (via Sport Witness) claim the three-time Champions League winner is an admirer of Dalot.

The 22-year-old joined United from Porto in a £19million deal in 2019 but has made just 35 appearances in three seasons for the Red Devils.

His progress has been blocked by the fine form of Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has nailed down the right-back position following his move from Crystal Palace.
