Manchester United is undergoing a significant squad overhaul as it seeks to enhance its team for the upcoming season. Captain Bruno Fernandes has publicly supported AC Milan winger Rafael Leao, who recently faced a red card incident during a friendly match. Leao, 26, has indicated his desire to leave Milan, suggesting that the Premier League or La Liga would better suit his playing style. Meanwhile, United's interest in West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes may be complicated by Real Madrid's renewed interest following the re-election of president Florentino Perez. Real Madrid is reportedly looking to strengthen its squad after a trophy-less season, which could pose a challenge for United in securing Mateus Fernandes, who is valued at £80 million. However, West Ham's relegation could weaken their negotiating power, potentially allowing United to make a competitive offer.
