If the club\u2019s recruitment team use their budget wisely, United would be able to make their presence felt strongly in Europe\u2019s premier competition.<\/p>\n<p>Another sleeping European giant, meanwhile, is facing contrasting fortunes and is desperate to balance their financial books. United could have a major influence on their plans.<\/p>\n<h3>Manchester United keen on two AC Milan stars<\/h3>\n<p>According to Calciomercato\u2019s Daniele Longo, AC Milan need to sell a top player before the end of June to ease their financial concerns after not featuring in the Champions League this season.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Milan want to completely restructure their squad in the summer and have put a number of out-of-favour players up for sale.<\/p>\n<p>The Italian journalist claims that if the Serie A giants are unable to sell their unwanted stars, they will be forced to consider offers for their high-earning players, including Mike Maignan, Rafael Leao, and Christian Pulisic.<\/p>\n<p>Longo adds that both Leao and Pulisic are on United\u2019s radar.<\/p>\n<h3>Only Rafael Leao makes sense<\/h3>\n<p>The electric Portuguese winger, who possesses explosive pace and exceptional dribbling ability, certainly fits the profile that Ineos are keen on.<\/p>\n<p>The 6\u20192\u2033 winger has been a pivotal part of Milan\u2019s attack since 2019 and has also proven his mettle in Portugal and France. <\/p>\n<p>It has previously been reported that Milan would be open to sanctioning his exit for \u00a343 million, making the Portugal international an appealing target for Europe\u2019s top clubs.<\/p>\n<p>Pulisic has also largely been an impressive figure in attack for Milan. <\/p>\n<p>However, given the USMNT star\u2019s lack of athleticism and struggles in the Premier League with Chelsea, United would be wise to stay away.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
