According to speculations, Manchester United is about to recruit a player called the “next Thierry Henry.”

United are now seventh in the Premier League after a 3-0 loss to neighboring Manchester City on Sunday. They have lost five of their first ten league games this season.

Rashford is one of numerous underperforming players at Old Trafford, with the forward scoring just once this season after signing a new £300,000-a-week contract in July.

Last season, the England international was United’s highest scorer, with 30 goals in all competitions.

Ten Hag, on the other hand, looks to be interested in adding a player to create competition for the misfiring 26-year-old.

United is interested in AC Milan attacker Rafael Leao, according to the Italian outlet Calciomercato.

The Portuguese great emerged to attention during Milan’s Scudetto-winning season, displaying the kind of skill and poise that drew comparisons to Henry from Fabio Capello and Stefano Pioli. 

And, despite the fact that Leao signed a new long-term contract last season, all may not be well at the San Siro.

Despite having three goals and four assists in ten Serie A games this season, the 24-year-old has been chastised for his lack of impact in key games.

Leao was recently substituted for Luka Jovic during a match against Napoli, and he was naturally upset by the decision.

According to the Italian daily, the Portugal international may reassess his future at the club.
