Man Utd ready to swap Joshua Zirkzee for Rafael Leao In recent days, Leao has emerged as a serious target for Man Utd , who reportedly scouted him during Sunday’s stalemate between Milan and Juventus at San Siro.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , the Red Devils are indeed interested in the Portuguese forward, even though Morgan Rogers is their top target for the role. As the Italian newspaper explains, Aston Villa are seeking at least €100 million (£86m) to part ways with the England international, while Leao is available for around €50 million (£43m), which could be a true bargain for a ‘magical’ player of his calibre .

The Dutchman is a popular figure at Old Trafford, but he’s been reduced to a benchwarmer under Carrick, making a summer departure almost inevitable. The former Bologna man has long been linked with a Serie A return, and the Rossoneri could consider him the right profile to complete a new-look attacking trident alongside Christian Pulisic and Alexander Sorloth, who is the club’s favourite target for the centre-forward role.
