United could be in the market for another wide forward with Rashford struggling to recapture last season’s dazzling displays. Antony was left out of the Manchester derby starting lineup and has largely failed to deliver since his big-money move from Ajax over a year ago.
Ten Hag’s spat with Jadon Sancho ensures that one winger will likely be leaving Old Trafford either in January or the following summer, perhaps paving the way for Leao to arrive in his place.
After United’s dismal start to the season, it has been evident that further investment is needed into the squad although they have to carefully circumvent Financial Fair Play. Leao could be the transformational signing that they need, joining up with his role model Rashford.
