He is fast on the ball, powerful, stylish and can do things that most wide forwards cannot.<\/p>\n<p>With confidence, he can carry the ball from deep, single-handedly beat defenders and completely change the atmosphere of the game.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why the names of Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal are mentioned at different times.<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s interest is particularly interesting as they need another burst of attack.<\/p>\n<p>Their up front has had its moments, but there&#8217;s still a feeling they&#8217;re missing a truly dominant left-sided threat to terrorize defenders on a weekly basis. Leon will bring it.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s not a safe, proper winger. He is unpredictable and United could use that more.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is price and structure.
