According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, AC Milan winger Rafael Leao is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils have scouted the AC Milan attacker this summer, and
The 26-year-old has done quite well for AC Milan over the years, and he could prove to be a handy option for Manchester United’s attack. They could use more depth in the attacking unit, and the Portuguese International could be ideal for them. He is a dynamic attacker who can operate anywhere across the front three.
Leao has 10 goals and three assists to his name in all competitions. He will add goals and creativity to the Manchester United attack. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United come forward with an offer to get the deal done. Milan could sanction his departure if a suitable offer is presented.
The Portuguese International is at the peak of his career, and this could be the right time for him to take on a new challenge. Moving to Manchester United would be an attractive opportunity. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they will be competing in the UEFA Champions League next year. They could be pushing for trophies, and Leao would get to test himself at the highest level. He has shown his quality in France and Italy. This is the right time for him to take on a new challenge and prove himself in England.
Leao has been linked with multiple Premier League clubs in the past. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can secure his signature. They have the financial resources to get the deal done and should be able to submit an attractive proposal to Milan.
The Italian outfit has not been able to challenge for major trophies in recent years. They need multiple additions in the summer and selling the Portuguese attacker to fund those signings.
Manchester United have invested in Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha this season. However, they will need more depth in the attacking unit if they want to do well across multiple competitions. They are expected to sell Joshua Zirkzee at the end of the season. Signing the AC Milan forward could be ideal for them.
