Man Utd planning surprise move for AC Milan star?
Manchester United could make a surprise approach for AC Milan forward Rafael Leao during the January transfer window.
The Red Devils are expected to pursue a new forward this winter after deciding to terminate the contract of Cristiano Ronaldo.
PSV Eindhoven's Cody Gakpo is the prime target for manager Erik ten Hag, but ESPN report that the Dutch club could keep him until the summer.
If such a situation arises, it is reported that United will turn their attention towards Leao, who has snubbed a new contract at Milan.
The Portuguese will enter the final 18 months of his deal in January and the Rossoneri could be tempted to sell him for the right price.
United could reportedly make a bid of around €60m for his services, but they won't be alone with Chelsea also interested in him.
The Blues tried to sign him during the summer transfer window, and they could make a renewed approach at the beginning of 2023.
