Manchester United<\/a> are reportedly planning to make a move to sign Rafael Leao, as per Football Insider<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n After one year without any European football, the Red Devils have secured their place in the Champions League<\/a>, having defeated arch-rivals Liverpool<\/a> 3-2 on Sunday.<\/p>\n The top five teams from the Premier League<\/a> are set to qualify for Europe\u2019s elite club competition next term, with Man Utd currently third in the table with 64 points from 35 matches.<\/p>\n When Michael Carrick was appointed interim manager, Champions League qualification seemed far-fetched. However, Man Utd have accumulated the most points in the English top-flight since his arrival in January.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, having secured their place in Europe\u2019s elite club competition, it appears Man Utd have already started exploring options to strengthen the squad this summer and continue the rebuild.<\/p>\n Football Insider<\/em> state that Man Utd are planning to reinforce the left flank and have earmarked Leao as a serious option after being offered the chance to buy him. The Portuguese is edging closer to leaving San Siro Stadium this summer.<\/p>\n United admire Rafael Le\u00e3o, but won\u2019t make a formal approach until a new permanent manager is appointed. It is understood that Michael Carrick is currently leading the race for the role following the recent upturn in form under his guidance.<\/p>\n The report state that Barcelona<\/a> and Manchester City<\/a> are also interested in signing him, so United will have to overcome stiff competition to seal the deal.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old is valued at around \u00a356m by Transfermarkt<\/span><\/a> and has entered the final two years of his current contract. So, the Rossoneri are likely to demand a big fee to let him leave.<\/p>\n Previously, Leao was considered one of the best young forwards in the world. However, he hasn\u2019t been able to reach his full potential at Milan. Still, he has helped Milan win a Serie A title and Supercoppa Italiana over the years.<\/p>\n The forward has played as a rotational option under Massimiliano Allegri this season, scoring 10 goals and registering three assists in 29 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n It is going to be interesting to see whether the Old Trafford club eventually make a concrete approach to secure his services in the upcoming summer transfer<\/a> window.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
