Manchester United are on alert as AC Milan star Rafael Leao confesses himself as a longtime keen follower of the club.This summer, the Red Devils will primarily focus on revamping their midfield. Nevertheless, Michael Carrick had admitted earlier in the season that the squad could do with a new right-footed left-winger.DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL STRETTY NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES & BREAKING NEWS – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAYIn recent weeks, reports linking Man Utd with Leao have intensified, especially amidst the player’s personal and collective struggles at San Siro.Milan star Rafael Leao says he likes Man UtdThe Portuguese star has been Milan’s standout star over the past few years. When the club won their last Scudetto title in 2022, the ‘magical’ forward was named the Best Player in Serie A that season after playing a vital role in the triumph.However, the 26-year-old has endured his worst campaign since joining the Serie A giants in 2019. He was jeered off the pitch by his home supporters on several occasions. Therefore, many believe it is past time for the two parties to part ways.Want more Stretty News coverage? Add us as a preferred source on Google to your favourites list for news you can trustLeao, who is said to be on the shortlist of several Premier League clubs, has now expressed his appreciation for the Premier League, particularly for Man Utd and Arsenal.“Of course, I watch the Premier League a lot,” said the Portugal international in an interview with BBC via Alfredopedulla.com.“I like Manchester United, especially for Cristiano Ronaldo, who is my idol, but Arsenal is also a team I follow on TV.”Do Man United need Leao?When a player linked to a certain club comes out to express his appreciation for this particular club, there could always be more behind it than an innocent admission.In Leao’s case, he might be desperate to leave Milan following the chaotic situation he endured this season. A few months ago, the team was sitting comfortably in second place and even trying to reduce the gap with league leaders Inter Milan. However, a late-season collapse saw them finish the campaign in 5th place and miss out on a Champions League spot.

With Max Allegri sacked, he might fare better under the new manager (who remains anonymous), but after seven years at San Siro, he could feel it is past time to challenge himself elsewhere.The words of the Sporting Club’s academy product might encourage Jason Wilcox and INEOS to pursue him, especially considering his affordable price tag (reported to be around €50 million or even less).However, Carrick may have changed his priorities in recent weeks, especially following the impressive displays from Matheus Cunha and Patrick Dorgu on the left wing.The Brazilian might be more comfortable playing centrally, while the young Dane is originally a left-back. Nevertheless, both of them look destined to play as left wingers next season, thus reducing the need to recruit another player for this role.On the contrary, Man Utd certainly need a new left-back, especially with Dorgu playing further up the field. Luke Shaw started every single Premier League contest this campaign, but replicating this feat is implausible in next season’s tighter schedule with the Champions League returning to Old Trafford.So while Leao might be a tempting profile for the club’s directors, signing him won’t be a priority for United.

Barcelona have all but abandoned their plans for Marcus Rashford, according to the latest reports from Catalunya, thus handing a major dilemma for Manchester United.The 28-year-old spent this campaign on loan with the Blaugrana. But despite scoring 14 goals and producing 14 assists, the LaLiga champions have seemingly opted against keeping him.DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL STRETTY NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES & BREAKING NEWS – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAYBarca have the option to buy the versatile attacker from Man Utd for €30 million (or £26m).Barcelona have dropped their plans for Marcus RashfordWhile Rashford has been keen to prolong his stay at Camp Nou, where he feels comfortable with his surroundings and happy with the exciting brand of football, he was dealt a massive blow in recent days, as it was announced that Barcelona are on the verge of finalising an €80 million transfer for Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon.The 25-year-old represents a younger, and perhaps hungrier, alternative to his English compatriot, and he effectively covers the same roles. Like Rasfhord, the Everton youth product primarily plays on the left side of the attack, but can feature anywhere in the final third.So, according to RAC 1, Gordon’s arrival could spell the end for Rashford’s hopes of securing a permanent transfer to Barcelona.Even though the Newcastle man will cost Barca a bigger transfer fee, his wages are significantly lower than the Manchester natives’, and he’s considered a long-term investment.Want more Stretty News coverage? Add us as a preferred source on Google to your favourites list for news you can trustMoreover, the Blaugrana will soon turn their attention to Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, who is their ideal profile to replace Robert Lewandowski.The Catalan source claims that Barcelona will only reconsider signing Rashford if they fail to sign a new centre-forward. Rashford’s Stats in 25/26 Appearances Goals Assists LaLiga 32 8 9 Champions League 11 5 4 Copa del Rey 4 1 1 Spanish Super Cup 2 0 0 Despite his affordable fee, Barcelona have been reluctant to cough up €30 million to buy Rashford, which is telling enough.The Man Utd academy product contributed with 14 goals and as many assists in his first season in Spain, but his performances haven’t convinced everyone at the club, especially on the big occasions.Therefore, Rashford clearly isn’t a priority for the Spanish champions, who see Gordon as a more suitable understudy for the injury-prone Raphinha, and Alvarez as the perfect profile to lead the line.What will Man Utd do with returning Rashford?Interestingly, United could do with an additional forward, especially a right-footed profile capable of playing on the left wing, and also leading the line when required. After all, Joshua Zirkzee could be on his way out.However, Michael Carrick has just managed to find a winning recipe, and he wouldn’t want to jeopardise it by evoking the past.In recent months, it was reported that Rashford is no longer an unwelcome figure at Carrington as he was during Ruben Amorim’s reign. However, this merely means that the Englishman would be allowed to train with his MUFC teammates in the summer until he finds himself a new club, as he’s unlikely to be reinstated in the team.INEOS thus have work to do to find him a new club. Thanks to his academy-product status, Man Utd are set to make a capital gain regardless of the transfer fee, but the directors are counting on a lucrative figure to fund their transfer plans.

BACK David Tully May 28th 2026 Man Utd have “conceded defeat” to Man City in the race to sign Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, according to reports. The Mirror claims that the England international’s asking price, combined with the player favouring a move to the Etihad, has resulted in the Red Devils deciding to end their interest. Journalist Jeremy Cross says five players have been identified as potential alternatives to Anderson.
