Owen Hargreaves has suggested Leeds United winger Raphinha as a potential transfer target for Manchester United, as quoted in The Yorkshire Evening Post.
The former United midfielder made the comments while looking at potential targets for the Red Devils in order to challenge for the Premier League title in the coming years.
Hargreaves, who now works as a pundit for BT Sports, believes that Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho would make United better, and he has also suggested that Leeds star Raphinha would be brilliant for the Red Devils.
The Yorkshire Evening Post quotes Hargreaves as saying: “Jadon Sancho would be amazing.
“You think about Raphinha at Leeds and what he could do in this United team – there’s obviously levels, and you can’t always spend £100 million on a player.”
Unlikely Leeds United exit
Raphinha has been brilliant for Leeds since joining the Whites last summer and has established himself as one of the better wingers in the Premier League.
According to WhoScored, the 24-year-old winger has made 23 starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for the West Yorkshire club this season, scoring six goals and providing six assists in the process.
Leeds are unlikely to sell Raphinha after just one season, especially to a rival club such as United.
The Whites could end up in the Premier League top 10 this season and could be looking to challenge for the European places in 2021-22.
