[Ante Rebic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/163794/Ante-Rebic) found Tonali alone in the box with a perfect ball across and he had no trouble finishing past keeper [Lorenzo Montipo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/184737/Lorenzo-Montipò).

Mirror: Man Utd join Chelsea and Man City in pursuit of Milan star ... (SempreMilan)

Manchester United are the latest team to be linked with a move for AC Milan winger Rafael Leao as they have scouted him, a report claims.

Among these teams is Manchester United, who sent scouts to watch each of Milan’s two matches against Chelsea in the Champions League. After a season in which he racked up double digits in both goals and assists across all competitions for the Rossoneri and was named the Serie A MVP in Milan’s Scudetto-winning campaign, it is no surprise that the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have been linked. The report adds Chelsea and Manchester City also watched the former Lille man too, with the former having been strongest linked.
