Multiple reports have confirmed that Man Utd have made their first official bid for Eder Militao by submitting a formal offer. The Real Madrid defender has long been admired by the interested team, who see him as the perfect addition to their squad ahead of the run-in. Whether the current offer will be enough to tempt Real Madrid to part with a prized asset remains to be seen. The transfer remains in progress, and with no other clubs involved, Man Utd look to be negotiating from a comfortable position. Defensively, Man Utd are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.5 goals conceded per game. Someone like Eder Militao could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most. Alongside this, Real Madrid are said to be exploring Leny Yoro, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Cristian Romero with Man Utd likewise connected to Jules Kounde, Lewis Hall and Sandro Tonali.
