Rafael Leao: Why AC Milan ace could be INEOSâ answer to a summer transfer need
Manchester United are expected to sign a left winger this summer.
The decision to let Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford leave has left the team with no natural left wingers.
Playing with double tens under the since-sacked Ruben Amorim meant United could afford to operate without wingers. However, following the Portuguese tacticianâs dismissal and the clubâs subsequent return to a winger-based system, the need for a left winger became obvious.
A number of options have been linked, but Mediaset are now doubling down on why AC Milanâs Rafael Leao is the likeliest left-winger signing for the Red Devils.
Rafael Leao and Milan expect to go separate ways
Mediaset report:
âThe story between Leao and Milan seems like a love story in the final credits.
âAt this point, the relationship with the Rossoneri fans seems almost irreparable.â
