The report alleges United view Leao as the “missing piece” in their attack who can help to create a “world-class” front line. Rashford days at Old trafford numbered as sir Jim ratcliffe plans huge upgrade. If United can do this they have the full support of the fans. Raphael Leao in United will be a deadly one🙀😱🙀
Sir Jim Ratcliffe, co-owner of Manchester United and head of INEOS, has earmarked Rafael Leao as the crucial winger needed to build a “world-class front line” at the club this summer. As usual, the media is abuzz with rumors linking United to various attacking prospects for the upcoming transfer window, including names like Ivan Toney and Jonathan David. This extensive search for forwards is in response to the current challenges at Old Trafford.
Anthony Martial is anticipated to exit the club at the season’s end when his contract expires, with interest reportedly coming from Monaco and Marseille. Should Martial leave, United will face a forward shortage, depending solely on Rasmus Hojlund, who joined the team last summer. Furthermore, United requires more reinforcements beyond just a striker. With Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood unlikely to return, the need for an additional winger is evident.
Rather than signing two separate players for the striker and winger roles, United might focus on versatile attackers capable of excelling in both positions. Rafael Leao fits this profile. TEAMtalk, referencing Spanish reports, indicates that Ratcliffe is keen on bringing the AC Milan star to United this summer. The club views Leao as the essential component to complete their “world-class” front line.
Back in October, The Peoples Person highlighted that United had been tracking Leao, who delivered an outstanding performance last season with 16 goals and 15 assists. This season, the Portuguese talent has maintained his form, netting six goals and providing eight assists in 27 Serie A matches. Additionally, he scored two goals in two Coppa Italia games and contributed three goals and two assists in just four Europa League appearances, according to Sofascore.
However, acquiring Leao may prove difficult for United, as he signed a new contract with Milan earlier this season, suggesting his contentment with the Italian club. Ratcliffe might need to make a substantial offer to lure Leao to Old Trafford. Furthermore, with Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations in play, it is uncertain how United will handle the summer transfer window.
