Bayer Leverkusen targets Afonso Moreira as Manchester United considers options

Bayer Leverkusen is reportedly in a strong position to acquire Afonso Moreira from Olympique Lyonnais as Manchester United weighs its options for a new left winger following the decision not to extend Jadon Sancho's contract. Moreira excelled in his debut season, contributing eight goals and 11 assists. United is also looking for a left-back and may prioritize that position over a winger. Lyon, facing financial pressure, is eager to sell before the end of June to meet regulatory obligations. Talks between Leverkusen and Lyon are underway, and United could pivot depending on their recruitment strategy as the transfer window progresses.
