United target reveals Real Madrid dream

 

Manchester United target Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has revealed he dreams of playing for La Liga giants Real Madrid.

 

The Gabon international has been in flying form for Borussia Dortmund this season, netting 20 goals in the Bundesliga.

 

His form has attracted interest across Europe, with Arsenal also credited with an interest in the 26-year-old striker.

 

However, Aubameyang has since admitted he would favour a move to Real Madrid.

 

United target reveals Real Madrid dream

 

"My childhood dream was to play for Real Madrid," Aubameyang told French publication L'Equipe.

 

"I promised my grandfather, who was from Avila some 110 kilometres away from Madrid, that I would play there.

 

"I realise that it will not be easy, but it is always in the back of my mind.

 

"I watched a lot of Hugo Sanchez videos when I was still a child. The somersault I sometimes do to celebrate a goal is a homage to him.

 

"Playing for Real Madrid, or even another big Spanish club, would also be a great gift for my mother."

 

Aubameyang has been strongly linked with a Premier League switch in recent weeks, with reports suggesting United would be willing to part ways with £70m to bring him to Old Trafford.
