Endrick is not seeking a move away from Real Madrid despite loose speculation linking him with Manchester United, according to his agent.

French publication RMC Sport reported in August that the Red Devils explored the possibility of signing Endrick on loan this summer.

There remains plenty of speculation surrounding the future of the Brazil international amid intense competition for a starting berth at Real.

Endrick has not featured for Los Blancos so far this season, with the club boasting Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Yan Diomande, Carlos Espi and Arda Guler as attacking options.

He missed Real’s first four games of the new season through injury and was an unused substitute in the recent wins over Inter Milan and Rayo Vallecano.

However, Thiago Freitas - who represents Endrick - has rubbished talk of his client wanting to leave Real in the January transfer window.

In an interview with 365scores, via Diario AS, Freitas said: “Endrick has not asked to leave the club and has never told me that he wants to look for another opportunity to play.

“Everything that is being said about it is completely false and nothing like this has happened.”

Mourinho confirmed Endrick received several offers

Endrick was also loosely linked with Arsenal this summer, with talkSPORT claiming the Premier League champions were keen on the young striker.

Real boss Jose Mourinho confirmed last month that the forward received interest from several clubs, but that he wanted him to stay at the Bernabeu.

“He’s a player I really like,” said Mourinho. “He’s had so many, many contacts with other clubs. I didn’t want to loan him out or sell him.

“I didn’t want him to leave because I like this player so much; he has significant talent.”

United meanwhile were linked with a handful of strikers this summer amid reports they were looking to sign competition for Benjamin Sesko.

BBC Sport revealed the Red Devils had previously considered a move for England striker Ollie Watkins, who ended up joining Al-Hilal from Aston Villa.

Joshua Zirkzee was also linked with a move away from United, with Everton and clubs in Serie A credited with interest in his services, but he ended up staying at Old Trafford.
