United have also been linked with another Mendes client, AC Milan forward Rafael Leao, but with an asking price of around £100 million his arrival is less likely than that of Neves. United will still be able to spend big on the right player, and Leao, a right-footed left winger, might put some welcome pressure on the misfiring Marcus Rashford. Leao has 26 direct goal-involvements for Milan this season, compared to Rashford's 13 for United.

Manchester United, having enough liquidity, is potentially interested in Leao.

Manchester United is planning a new mini-revolution that will bring at least one high-level reinforcement in every department of the field. In particular, they have set their sights on the Serie A to replace Marcus Rashford. According to TeamTalk in England, during the summer, United will present a maxi offer equal to the cost of the termination clause of 150 million euros to snatch Rafael Leao from Milan. A monstrous blow, but considered fundamental by the new shareholders to relaunch the club in the Olympus of European football.
