​Manchester United must refocus after Liverpool lost out on Dutchman Cody Gakpo.

Liverpool have struck a blow – they have signed a contract with one of the best players of the 2022 World Cup

Rafael Leao, Manchester United’s attacking option

Erik ten Hag has been left without a genuine striker after parting ways with Cristiano Ronaldo, and the Red Devils are looking for a solution to the main job starting this winter.

On Monday, PSV Eindhoven announced that they had reached an agreement with Liverpool for the transfer of Cody Gakpo.

As such, Manchester United’s top target has collapsed and Erik ten Hag now wants Italian champions AC Milan’s Rafael Leao.

According to The Mirror, Portuguese Rafael Leao is also in Chelsea’s sights as competition allows Milan to demand a huge fee for him.

Rafael Leao is £130m and unlike Gakpo, the Portuguese is a very expensive option.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Leao’s AC Milan team-mate, has advised the 23-year-old to stay under Stefano Pioli given his star status and confidence in the starting line-up.

7 goals and 9 assists – these are the indicators of Rafael Leao in the current season for “Milan”.
