Vinicius Jr.\u2019s season has simply gone south after the Ballon d\u2019Or debacle and while the incident may not be directly responsible for the same, it is safe to claim that it was roughly the period the Brazilian lost his footing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since then, the 24-year-old has been a shadow of his former self and has struggled to get out of the shadow of Kylian Mbappe in Real Madrid\u2019s attack. Suspensions, fatigue and injuries, needless to say, have not helped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regardless of his dip in form, it is clear that Real Madrid heavily bet on the Brazilian every time he takes to the field. Yet, his importance and future at the club have never been more uncertain, especially with Mbappe replacing him in the spotlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A gargantuan offer
There has been no shortage of interest in the young talisman\u2019s signing in recent weeks with Saudi Arabia particularly interested in splashing the cash and maximising the current opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As relayed by Fichajes, another team are now entering the race to sign Vinicius and see him to be the leader they direly need to build the project around \u2013 Manchester United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Red Devils are currently in a deep sporting crisis and hope to use Vinicius as a board to bounce back into the elite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One hurdle, however, is that they simply cannot qualify for the UEFA Champions League from the domestic route and can only seal a place in the competition if they win the UEFA Europa League this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should United win the Europa League and qualify for the elite event, they will launch an offer of \u20ac200 million for the star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An offer from the English side is thus just a theoretical one for now, but if United secure qualification to the UEFA Champions League next season, it could morph into reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Real Madrid, for their part, have not been willing to consider any offers for Vinicius, who is protected by a \u20ac1 billion release clause in his contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, recent reports suggest that the club no longer see him as \u2018untouchable\u2019, possibly opening the door for a potential exit if an offer worth \u20ac200 million might come along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
