When asked during his podcast appearance if he watched much of the Premier League, the international forward stated: “Yeah, of course.” Asked further if there were any particular teams that he watched, Leao said: “No, I like United. I like United because my idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. So back then I used to watch them. And, yeah, I used to watch Manchester United. I like Arsenal also. Arsenal, yeah.”
Despite this admission, reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport indicated that the 26-year-old remains eager to redeem himself in Italy, having already told senior club advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic that he wants to stay at Milan to put a difficult campaign behind him.
