Manchester United reportedly want Kalvin Phillips of Leeds United.
According to The Sun, Manchester United are interested in signing Kalvin Phillips from Leeds United.
It has been reported that Premier League giants United have been scouting the 23-year-old central midfielder with a view to signing him next summer.
The Englishman is one of the best and most promising young players in the Championship, and he can only get better in the coming years.
The Old Trafford faithful will already know about Phillips, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side having faced him during a pre-season game between the Red Devils and the Whites back in July.
United won 4-0 at Optus Stadium in Perth, and in October 2019, Phillips gave his take on locking horns with the Red Devils.
The central midfielder was impressed with United and France international midfielder Paul Pogba, and it seems that the Leeds ace is a fan of the 26-year-old – who earns £290,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com.
Phillips told The Yorkshire Evening Post about Pogba back in October 2019: “When we played Manchester United in pre-season, they had a lot of good players.
“Pogba didn’t look his best but you noticed the difference between Premier League and Championship level.
“He’s probably one of the best midfielders in the world. That was one of my toughest tests so far.”
While Leeds are aiming to finish in the top two of the Championship table this season, United are challenging for a Champions League place in the Premier League table.
