Manchester United have seen their name thrown into more transfer rumours – This time, the Red Devils have been heavily linked with a summer move for Leeds United’s winger Raphinha.
Raphinha, 24, joined Leeds United less than 12-months ago after making the switch from Ligue 1 side Rennes.
After enjoying a hugely impressive breakthrough in England’s top-flight working under the guidance of the highly-rated Marcelo Bielsa, Raphinha has seen his stock rise dramatically.
An impressive patch of form has seen the Brazilian winger nail down a place on the Whites’ right-flank and after contributing to nine goals in just 18 Premier League appearances, Raphinha’s impact cannot be underestimated.
In light of the 24-year-old’s continued and impressive form, a host of top clubs have been linked with a summer move.
The latest outlet to claim both Liverpool and United are actively interested in acquiring the Brazilian’s services is Sky Italia.
