Liam McCarron has started following a Leeds United account on Twitter.

Have Leeds United won the race to sign Liam McCarron?

Carlisle United boss Steven Pressley claimed a little earlier this week that the 18-year-old was set for an ‘imminent’ exit from the League Two side.

The Mail have recently reported that Leeds had offered £250,000 for the promising midfielder, but Wolverhampton Wanderers were also in the mix.

But if Twitter is anything to go by, United might’ve won the race.

McCarron has started following a Leeds account on social media – an account that is dedicated to the young players at Thorp Arch, no less.

The account, which is called LUFC Youth, is the club’s ‘unofficial academy page’ and yet it has some well-known followers in the form of Ian Harte, Andy Couzens and former Yorkshire Evening Post journalist Phil Hay.

And the fact that McCarron is also a follower is definitely intriguing to say the least, given that he would most probably ply his trade in Carlos Corberan’s Under-23 side next season, if he were to join the Championship club.
