Manchester United are the latest team to be linked with a move for AC Milan winger Rafael Leao as they have scouted him, a report claims.
Among these teams is Manchester United, who sent scouts to watch each of Milan’s two matches against Chelsea in the Champions League. After a season in which he racked up double digits in both goals and assists across all competitions for the Rossoneri and was named the Serie A MVP in Milan’s Scudetto-winning campaign, it is no surprise that the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have been linked. The report adds Chelsea and Manchester City also watched the former Lille man too, with the former having been strongest linked.
AC Milan have left the 2-0 defeat to Chelsea behind them, but the debate has continued among pundits and fans regarding the controversial penalty.
Fikayo Tomori was sent off after just 18 minutes and the referee also gave Chelsea a penalty for the foul. Fikayo Tomori will play from start but he will miss the next Champions League clash. Antonio Cassano has now chimed in with his thoughts.
