Leeds United’s are said to be hunting Manchester United striker James Wilson.

According to The Sun, Leeds United are attempting to sign Manchester United striker James Wilson in January.

Leeds are keen to bring in Wilson on loan, as they feel the youngster could enhance their attacking quality.

Wilson has not featured much for United recently, after bursting on to the scene as a youngster, but he is very highly regarded by staff at Old Trafford.

If Wilson was to move to Leeds then it is likely that he would be expecting to feature regularly in their first-team.

And that would have to lead to question marks over where Cibicki would fit in.

Wilson has the capabilities to play anywhere across the front line, much like Cibicki, and with the Swede already struggling for game time, he would only be pushed further down the pecking order.

Sweden's forward Pawel Cibicki vies for the ball during the UEFA U-21 European Championship Group A football match Poland v Sweden in Lublin, Poland on June 19, 2017.

Cibicki has made just one Leeds appearance since joining from Malmo, and he is yet to even feature in the Championship.

And if Leeds do manage to sign Wilson in January, then it only looks set to be even tougher for the 23-year-old forward to break into Thomas Christiansen’s starting line-up.
