Former Manchester United and France defender Patrice Evra has openly admitted that he hopes Endrick continues to struggle at Real Madrid — so that the Red Devils can move in and sign the Brazilian forward.

A loan spell that changed everything

Endrick found himself on the fringes at Real Madrid during the 2025-26 season, failing to secure regular first-team football. In January 2026, he departed on loan to Olympique Lyon, where he transformed his fortunes entirely.

The young Brazilian struck eight goals in 21 appearances for Lyon across all competitions, earning widespread praise and securing his place in Brazil's squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Evra's candid wish

Speaking to Stake, Evra made no attempt to hide his desire to see Endrick pull on a Manchester United shirt at Old Trafford.
