REAL MADRID are not pursuing Harry Kane or Kylian Mbappe in a boost to Manchester United, reports in Spain say.
The Spanish giants have lost star striker Karim Benzema, who recently signed for Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.

And Tottenham’s Kane and Mbappe of PSG were to two linked as Benzema’s replacement.
But according to Spanish sports radio Cope, Real Madrid are instead looking to sign Joselu.
The forward spent two seasons with Stoke – from 2015-2017 – but he scored just four in 27 matches.
From there he signed for Newcastle after a loan move with Deportivo and managed seven goals in 57 games at St James Park.
But Joselu really reinvented himself back in Spain with Alaves and now Espanyol.
He scored 17 in 38 last season which has caught the attention of Real Madrid.
That is despite rumours of Kane looking to leave Spurs, with the likes of United and Bayern Munich linked.
And PSG could be forced to sell Mbappe after the French superstar decided not to renew his contract, which expires next summer.

In a statement to AFP, Mbappe revealed he informed the Ligue 1 champions of his decision to leave LAST YEAR.
A statement from Mbappe, 24, read: “I have NEVER discussed any contract renewal with PSG.
“The board has been informed since July 15th, 2022 of my decision not to extend beyond 2024 — and the letter sent was only meant to confirm what I already told them.”
And with Mbappe ready to run down his deal, PSG will not allow him to leave for free and will instead look to sell him.
