The Portugal international is also struggling to perform to his best in Max Allegriās 3-5-2 system, which forced him into a central role.
As reported earlier this week, Leaoās situation piqued the interest of Man Utd, who are searching the market for a new right-footed left-winger, which is the role he excels at.
According to Tuttosport (via Milan News), United have sent a scout to watch the player in action on Sunday evening against Juventus.
Earlier this season, Michael Carrick admitted the squad lacks an inverted left winger, as Matheus Cunha isnāt considered a pure winger, as he tends to cut to the centre.
Jason Wilcox and Christopher Vivell have been keeping tabs on several profiles, including RB Leipzig teenager Yan Diomande. However, the young Ivorianās price tag could exceed ā¬100 million (Ā£87m), making him a potentially unattainable profile for MUFC, who must also invest heavily in midfield.
On the other hand, Leao is no longer considered āuntouchableā at Milan, who are reportedly willing to sell the attacker for ā¬50 million (Ā£43m) and ā¬60 million (Ā£52m), with his contract expiring in 2028. He also attracted interest from Barcelona and the Saudi Pro League.
While Leao has all the technical attributes required to be considered a truly elite player, he has also been criticised for his complacent approach at times, a characteristic that also hampered the careers of several stars who played for Man Utd in recent years.
