Manchester United are looking to close the gap with their rivals and push for major trophies once again.
They are looking to make a marquee signing at the end of the season, and they have identified Rafael Leao as a target. According to a report from Fichajes, they are lining up a €100 million move for the Portuguese international, and they believe that he could add a new dimension to the attacking unit.
Rafael Leao could be a superb signing
The 26-year-old is at the peak of his career, and he has proven himself in Italy. He has the ability to succeed in English football, and he could complete the Manchester United attacking unit. He is capable of operating across the front three, and Leao could be the ideal utility man for Manchester United.
The club hierarchy is willing to spend heavily to close the gap with the top clubs. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Manchester United have done well since Michael Carrick’s arrival, and they will look to secure Champions League qualification for next season. They need to finish in the top four to attract elite players.
