Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing AC Milan striker Rafael Leao.
According to The Mirror, United are monitoring the situation surrounding the 23-year-old.
Erik ten Hag is said to be a big fan of Leao and would love for him to come to Old Trafford.
United sent scouts to see his performance against Chelsea in the Champions League.
Leao’s current contract at Milan expires in less than 18 months, but he refuses to sign an extension.
United will face stiff competition from Chelsea and Manchester City, who are also said to be interested in the player.
Leao has scored four goals and registered four assists in eight Serie A games this season.
He would be a welcome addition to United’s attack and add some pizzazz.
Anthony Martial’s poor injury history means Ten Hag can’t rely on him long-term. Leao could be the exciting solution.
The report goes on to say:
“The Portuguese international has less than 18 months left on his contract and is refusing to sign a new deal even though a five-year offer worth more than £100,000 a week has been put on the table.”
“Ten Hag will have to wait until next summer to make a move after being told the money will be a prize in the January transfer window.”
