According to unnamed sources, United believe Ramos could provide valuable experience in defense for the remainder of the season.

The proposed deal would likely be a short-term contract of six months, allowing United to strengthen their defense ahead of the final stretch of the season.

Ramos has expressed admiration for Manchester United in the past, stating he was close to joining the club in 2013.

He acknowledged that he ultimately chose to stay with Real Madrid, but maintained a respect for United and the Premier League.

Ramos' potential arrival would bring experience and leadership to the United squad, with the possibility of influencing the entire team, not just the defense.

He would join former Real Madrid teammate Casemiro and become one of the oldest players on the team, matching Tom Heaton's age of 39.
