Manchester United could face an interesting choice if both Ollie Watkins and Endrick become realistic options, with Watkins reportedly valued at around £40 million and Endrick potentially available for a similar £35–45 million range.
Watkins enjoyed a productive campaign with Aston Villa, scoring 16 Premier League goals and registering 3 assists in 37 appearances. His experience in England’s top flight, intelligent movement and proven ability in front of goal would make him an attractive option for a United side looking for an immediate attacking solution.
Endrick, meanwhile, impressed during his loan spell at Lyon, recording 5 goals and 7 assists in 16 Ligue 1 appearances. Across all competitions, the young Brazilian reportedly finished the spell with around 8 goals and 8 assists in 21 games.
The age gap could also play a major role in United’s decision. Watkins is 30, meaning he would bring experience and immediate quality, while Endrick is only 20 and offers considerably more time to develop into a long-term star.
There is also a notable difference in their reported wages, with Watkins earning around £130,000 per week at Aston Villa compared with Endrick’s estimated £60,000–£70,000 weekly salary at Real Madrid.
With the potential transfer fees relatively close, United would have to decide between the proven Premier League experience of Watkins and the youthful potential, pace and technical ability of Endrick.
If you had the final say, who would you choose for Manchester United: Watkins or Endrick?
