Man United plot major left-wing upgrade as Chelsea and AC Milan stars shortlisted

Manchester United are plotting a major left-wing upgrade, targeting Chelsea forward Cole Palmer and AC Milan attacker Rafael Leao, with scouts watching them this month.
Michael Carrick has flagged the left-wing as a problem area that needs a long-term fix, with Patrick Dorgu injured and limited options forcing Manchester United to seek an upgrade.
Chelsea's price tag and Palmer's contract status present major hurdles for any move, as Chelsea reportedly values Cole Palmer at £200 million and he has a contract until 2033, while AC Milan could permit an exit for Rafael Leao only if the price is right.
United could act this month or wait until summer as they reallocate funds saved from Casemiro's exit, with Patrick Dorgu's injury prompting urgent left-wing reinforcements, report says.
High valuations and competition across top clubs make a left-wing upgrade expensive and complex, and unless Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United midfielder, is sold, the club may defer a blockbuster signing.
