Leeds United headlines as speculation around Tyler Adams future at Elland Road begins to grow

Here are your Leeds United morning headlines on Sunday, 4 December.

Tyler Adams reportedly set to "see out the season" with Leeds United before assessing his future in the summer

Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams is reportedly set to evaluate his future in the summer following a strong showing for the USA at the World Cup.

The USA had their World Cup hopes dashed in the Round of 16 by Louis van Gaal's Netherlands, who beat Adams and co 3-1 out in Qatar. But despite the disappointment, Adams has seen his stock rise monumentally.

While he only joined the Whites last summer, the US international is now said to be drawing plenty of interest from clubs around Europe - with Manchester United just one of the sides rumoured to be keen.

A move in the January transfer window seems unlikely, with Leeds unwilling to sell one of their best players.

However, GIVEMESPORT's Dean Jones claims that while Adams won't be moving anytime soon, a move in the summer could be on the card depending on what offers come his way.

"A move to Manchester United is not on at the moment," said Jones. "That’s not one that is active at all. From what I’m told, he’s going to see out the season and probably see what lands after that point. But it won’t surprise me at all to see him being linked with some big moves at the end of the season."

Leeds United duo suffer heartbreak as USA World Cup dream ends in defeat

Leeds United's USA duo Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson have suffered heartbreak on the international stage as their World Cup dream was ended in a 3-1 defeat to the Netherlands.

Overcoming Louis van Gaal's Dutch outfit was always going to be a tough ask of the Stars and Stripes, with hopes of a shock quarter-final appearance dashed after only 10 minutes when Memphis Depay put Oranje ahead.

While goalscoring opportunities were a rarity, Gregg Berhalter saw his side go toe-to-toe against the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Leeds target Cody Gakpo before former Manchester United man Daley Blind doubled the Netherlands' advantage on the stroke of half-time.

Such evenness remained present throughout the second period and Aaronson's introduction from the bench made a significant difference. The 22-year-old cross enabled his side to reduce the deficit in the 75th minute as Haji Wright converted via an unorthodox finish.

Denzel Dumfries swiftly allayed Dutch fears of an American comeback by converting Blind's cross to put the result beyond doubt.

Leeds United's Tyler Adams laments USA defensive errors after Netherlands World Cup heartbreak

Tyler Adams has lamented the USA's defensive fragility after the Stars and Stripes saw their World Cup dreams shattered by the Netherlands in a 3-1 defeat.

America had won a number of plaudits on their way to qualification for the knockout stages, becoming the only side in the tournament not to have conceded a goal from open play during all three group fixtures.

Adams, particularly, can claim to have played a big part in that.

"When you play a team with so much quality like that and you give them three, four chances, they're going to put three or four away," Adams said.

"We can show that we can hang with some of the best teams in the world, some of the best players in the world, and that's a lot of progress for U.S. soccer."
