MARCO ASENSIO has dealt reported suitors Manchester United and Chelsea a huge transfer blow by pledging his loyalty to Real Madrid.
The Express claims Asensio is being chased by the Premier League duo after becoming one of Europe’s top-performing youngsters.
The 21-year-old made 38 appearances in all competitions for Los Blancos last season and has already taken to the field 24 times in the current campaign.
But despite being handed a new six-year contract in September, reports claim Asensio could be facing a shock Bernabeu exit.
Zinedine Zidane’s side are said to be interested in poaching Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain.
And in order to sign the Brazilian, they will need to sell a few of their own big names first.
