Manchester United<\/a> are interested in signing AC Milan star Rafael Leao<\/a>, who has received praise from Portugal teammate Bruno Fernandes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite making a name for himself on the wing, Leao has moved into a more central role this season, and he has regularly been amongst the goals for AC Milan.<\/p>\n

Lauded as “extraordinary” by Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri<\/a>, the 26-year-old has amassed a whopping 80 goals and 65 assists in 288 matches for the Italian side, and he has plenty of top-level experience, having made 30 Champions League appearances.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Sesko, on the other hand, remains a little inexperienced, at 22-years-old, but the Slovenian has made a solid start to life in the Premier League<\/a>, most recently finding the net in a 2-1 victory against Brentford.<\/p>\n

\n <\/h2>\n

With that in mind, there are perhaps some question marks about whether the Red Devils need to bring in a new striker, but they have now been told a \u00a350m – \u00a360m bid for Leao could be accepted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That is according to a report from Football Insider, which states United have now registered an interest in signing the Portuguese winger, who still has two years remaining on his AC Milan contract.<\/p>\n

Transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke adds: \u201cIt won\u2019t be a cheap deal to do. You\u2019re probably looking around the \u00a350 to 60 million mark for Leao, who\u2019s got into the last two years of his contract at the San Siro.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo look, Milan I think would be open to a potential move away from the winger if the right offer comes in for him. United are looking for that position, and I\u2019m sure he\u2019s one of a number of players that\u2019s on that long list.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n What Bruno Fernandes has said about Rafael Leao<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

Signing the Milan star could appease Fernandes, given that the 31-year-old has sung his international teammate’s praises in the past, saying: “I met him as a kid at Sporting Lisbon, he came up to the first team with me. He is a boy with an enormous talent that we all hope will become stronger every time because we know how much talent he has. <\/em><\/p>\n

“He has had his moments, but I still believe that he is a phenomenal player who can give us something more.”<\/em><\/p>\n

A move to Old Trafford may also be an attractive proposition for Leao, with Man United set to be playing Champions League football next season.<\/p>\n
