Leeds United saw Illan Meslier keep a clean sheet on Sunday afternoon – and it came at a great time for the Frenchman.

The Whites had been beaten 4-1 by both Crystal Palace and Leicester City before taking on Arsenal, and needed to be sturdier defensively.

They were helped by Nicolas Pepe’s red card early in the second half, but Meslier managed to keep a clean sheet just hours after Leeds were linked with a new goalkeeper.

The Sun reported over the weekend that Leeds are interested in signing Manchester United’s Dean Henderson given that he wants a loan move.

Henderson is stuck behind David De Gea at Old Trafford, and knows he needs to be playing if he is to make England’s European Championship squad.

Brighton and Bournemouth are also keen, but a move to Leeds would be very interesting given the rivalry between the two clubs.

United fans have been taking to Twitter to react to the news, with some believing that he should go and play proper football under Marcelo Bielsa, with first-team football best for him right now.

Others think Henderson would never join Leeds, and should stay to offer competition for De Gea rather than leave on loan yet again despite his quality.
