Manchester United co-owner and INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe has identified Rafael Leao as a pivotal winger needed to forge a “world-class front line” for the club this summer. The media has linked United to several attacking prospects for the upcoming transfer window, including Ivan Toney and Jonathan David, reflecting the current challenges at Old Trafford.
Anthony Martial is anticipated to leave when his contract expires at the season’s end, with Monaco and Marseille reportedly interested. Martial’s departure would leave United with a limited number of forwards, relying solely on Rasmus Hojlund, who joined last summer. Beyond the striker role, United needs reinforcements, particularly on the wings. With Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood unlikely to return, the necessity for a new winger is clear.
Rather than signing separate players for the striker and winger positions, United could target versatile attackers capable of excelling in both roles. Rafael Leao fits this profile. Reports from Spain, cited by TEAMtalk, indicate Ratcliffe’s interest in the AC Milan star this summer. United views Leao as the “missing piece” for creating a “world-class” front line.
In October, The Peoples Person reported that United had been scouting Leao, who had an impressive previous season with 16 goals and 15 assists. This season, the Portuguese talent has maintained strong performance, with six goals and 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 four Europa League matches, according to Sofascore.
Securing Leao could be challenging, as he recently signed a new contract with Milan, suggesting his contentment with the club. Ratcliffe might need to present a substantial offer to lure Leao to Old Trafford. Furthermore, with Financial Fair Play (FFP) concerns, United’s approach to the summer transfer window remains uncertain.
