Manchester United target Rafael Leao has the option to leave AC Milan or play under Ruben Amorim at the San Siro.
Last week it was confirmed that Ruben Amorim has joined AC Milan as head coach, just over five months after he was sacked by Manchester United.
United have made contact with Rafael Leao over a potential summer move and Leao says he wants a new challenge after seven years in Milan.
Leao scored for Portugal in their emphatic 5-0 World Cup win over Uzbekistan, and again, he spoke about his future after the full-time whistle.

Rafael Leao came off the bench and scored for Portugal against Uzbekistan, but questions after the match were more focused on his future rather than his performance.
As quoted by Italian journalist Daniele Longo, Leao said: “Right now I have to stay focused on the World Cup.
“What I know about this coach [Amorim] is that he’s very good, he did well in Portugal, at United it didn’t go as he wanted but he remains a great coach.
“I’ll decide my life after the World Cup.”
