Takefusa Kubo has always piqued Manchester United’s interest, and the most recent rumours are intriguing.

The Red Devils made an incredible offer to sign the Japanese international from Real Sociedad, according to Mundo Deportivo last month.

The Catalan outlet from today claims that Man Utd is among the clubs who have “shown interest” in signing the Japanese international (news image provided below).

But the Spanish team has determined that Zubimendi and Kubo will not be departing during the January transfer window.

According to MD, Liverpool, Juventus, and Al-Nassr have all expressed interest in signing the Asian star, whose contract has a £51 million (60 million euro) “bargain” clause.

Man Utd is faced with a problem because Kubo is unwilling to relocate, even if they choose to spend £51 million to activate the clause.

According to reports, the player has made the decision to stay in the current month and has even expressed a desire to stay at Sociedad beyond the summer transfer window.

After nine months, Antony finally scored for Manchester United last night, and to be fair, the Brazilian international ought to be replaced.

Kubo has directly contributed to ten goals for the Txuri-Urdin this season. Next month, they will play Paris Saint-Germain, the reigning French champions, in the UEFA Champions League.

What player should Man Utd recruit to take Antony’s spot on the right flank?
