Real Sociedad sensation Takefusa Kubo could be heading for Manchester United in January, according to the Sun.

The English giants have struggled since the start of the current campaign and keen on reinforcing their squad in the winter transfer window.

They are the latest side to show interest in the 22-year-old wonderkid.

The Japanese international has become a key player for Real Sociedad and is thriving in La Liga.

Manchester United believe that Kubo is capable of replacing Brazilian winger Antony who flopped since his €95 million move from Ajax in 2022.

The Sociedad star is valued at around €50m, as per Transfermarkt.

His deal expires in the summer of 2027.
