Along with their search for a new manager, MU are also stirring up the 2026 summer transfer market with a key target: Rafael Leao.
Under the strategic management of the INEOS group, the Old Trafford team is ready to spend big to secure the signature of AC Milan's number one attacking star.
According to reports from The Daily Mail and Sky Sport Italia, Manchester United's leadership believes Leao is key to bringing the club back to the top of the Premier League.
With his explosive speed, ability to break through on the left wing, and his runs into the center like a "false nine," the 26-year-old Portuguese player is expected to form a formidable attacking trio alongside Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo.
Although Leao 's contract at San Siro runs until 2028, Milan are reportedly ready to enter negotiations if they receive an attractive offer.
INEOS believes that Leao's presence not only brings professional value, with 9 goals and 2 assists this season, but also serves as a strong statement of their ambition to win the Premier League.
Manchester United are currently enjoying a period of success under interim manager Michael Carrick.
The emergence of players like Amad Diallo has created a positive psychological foundation for the team.
However, to truly close the gap with their direct rivals, a star capable of turning the tide of a match like Rafael Leao is essential.
Therefore, officials at Old Trafford are willing to pay 100 million euros (approximately 87 million pounds at current prices) to acquire Leao.
The chemistry between Leao and Bruno Fernandes, teammates in the Portuguese national team, is seen as key to Manchester United's pursuit of the Milan striker.
