Rafael Leao offered to Roma as Man Utd confirm Ethan Ennis move

Manchester United have confirmed that 21-year-old academy forward Ethan Ennis will move to Stockport County, while AC Milan forward Rafael Leao has been proposed to Roma. Ennis joined United in 2021 and made his first senior appearance during the 2024/25 season.

The move to Stockport represents the next stage of Ennis’s career after his spell in the Manchester United academy. The club has confirmed the agreement and wished the forward well as he begins his time with the League Two side.

Ennis had remained part of United’s youth structure since arriving in 2021. His senior involvement came in the 2024/25 campaign, giving him his first experience of football at that level before the transfer to Stockport.

Leao’s situation is a separate development in the transfer window. The AC Milan attacker has been put forward for a move to Roma, with his agent Jorge Mendes proposing the deal to the Italian club.

The Portugal forward has also been linked with Premier League interest this summer. Manchester United and Arsenal have previously been named among the clubs associated with Leao, although the latest development concerns a possible switch from Milan to Roma.

The two moves involve different stages of negotiations. United’s decision on Ennis has been confirmed, while Leao’s potential transfer has emerged through a proposal made to Roma. No agreement involving Leao has been confirmed in the supplied information.

For Manchester United, the announcement marks the departure of an academy forward who reached senior football during the previous season. For Leao, the proposed Roma move adds another club to the list connected with his future after earlier links to United and Arsenal.
