The Portuguese has fallen in the pecking order at Real Madrid and with Marcelo’s impressive form, Coentrao isn’t likely to get a game any time soon. His future is suddenly on the line and has been attracting keen interest from all top clubs across Europe with Manchester United thought to be the most likely destination. The 25 year old certainly has more quality than just to warm the sidelines at Madrid and with the World Cup in June, he needs more match practice to suit into Portugal’s system at Sambaland.

Even though Real manager Carlo Ancelotti would not want any departures in January, it’s no harm in saying Coentrao will be desperate to leave. Spanish website AS claims that Real Madrid are after Alberto Moreno as a potential replacement for Fabio Coentrao, which may be the key to United laying their hands on the Portuguese star.
