Sky: Door now wide open for Man Utd to seal ‘incredible bargain’ after entering race for 43-capped Portugal whiz

While midfield will take priority in INEOS’ plans, attacking depth will be necessary if United are to be playing Champions League football next season.

Additionally, they are poised to facilitate the exits of forwards Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund, as well as Jadon Sancho, who is out of contract in June.

Leao could be a ‘bargain’ coup for teams

Amid reports Leao might be available for such a cut-price fee of £40m, Sky Sports journalist Dougie Critchley has said it’s an ‘incredible potential bargain’.

At only 26, the player has a list of accolades and experience to his name that sets him apart from plenty of his counterparts across the continent, such as being a Scudetto winner and Serie A MVP winner.

Numbers-wise, Leao has previously overseen more prolific goalscoring campaigns than he’s seeing out right now.

He has returned nine goals and three assists in 25 league appearances this term. Last season, he registered only eight goals in 34 matches, but did contribute 10 assists.
