Kalvin Phillips won’t consider a big-money summer transfer to Manchester United due to his allegiance to Leeds United, according to reports. Rumours had been starting to gather pace about a potential move across the Pennines at the end of the season but it looks dead in the water.
It will come as a great relief to worried Whites supporters but some will have known throughout the saga that he wouldn’t be interested in an Old Trafford switch. As a Leeds fan himself, Phillips will be more than aware of the potential backlash that would await should he make the move to Man United.
The news that he won’t be considering a move to the old enemy came courtesy of a report in the Daily Mail and it also claimed that the 26-year-old hopes to stay at Elland Road. Everyone at the club would love to see Phillips tied down to a longer term, bumper deal but the prospect of a potential relegation means his future is somewhat in the balance.
