Some Manchester City supporters want to see Lukas Nmecha loaned to Leeds United.

Leeds are one of several Championship clubs linked with the City striker, along with Swansea City, Blackburn Rovers and West Bromwich Albion.

And the Sun claims the relationship between respective Manchester City and Leeds bosses Pep Guardiola and Marcelo Bielsa could be decisive.

England youth international Nmecha was involved in City’s pre-season tour of the United States, and has appeared three times competitively for the Blues.

But a season of regular football could do him the world of good, and the following Manchester City fans see Leeds as his best bet…

Should the 19-year-old move to Leeds, he would follow in the footsteps of Jack Harrison – the Manchester City winger who switched to Elland Road on a temporary basis earlier this week.

And Guardiola said of Harrison’s exit, via Leeds Live: “Leeds called me about Jack Harrison and we spoke with Jack.

“He did so well in pre-season and I was really impressed.

“I always believe when we have space in the first team they have to stay, but there is no space and they have to play.

“Of course the best way is the Premier League or the Championship and I know for the way Marcelo wants to play – I think it suits perfectly for his [Jack’s] capacity.

“I said I am really impressed with my squad and you have to leave the side.”

Is Elland Road the Manchester City striker’s best destination?
