Manchester United are reportedly considering a shock summer swoop for Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie.

The 25-year-old, who had a disappointing loan spell with Leeds United, could be available for as little as £15million, according to GIVEMESPORT.

McKennie has seen his career being revitalized since returning to Juventus after Leeds did not make the move permanent due to their relegation.

His resurgence in Serie A has caught the attention of United’s Erik ten Hag, especially as the club enters its first transfer window under co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s tenure.

With nearly 30 appearances for Juventus this season, McKennie is seen as an appealing midfield reinforcement, alongside Arsenal’s interest and past inquiries from Aston Villa and Fulham.

Despite a challenging stint at Leeds, McKennie remains keen on proving his Premier League mettle, potentially at Old Trafford.
