Leeds United are hopeful of keeping midfielder Kalvin Phillips for one more year despite Manchester United's interest.
The Manchester Evening News revealed two weeks ago United are working on a deal for Phillips, 26, as they have prioritised a defensive midfield signing.
Sources say Leeds believe interested clubs will be reluctant to meet Phillips's valuation of around £60million after a season where he missed three-and-a-half months with a hamstring injury. West Ham and Aston Villa are also interested in Phillips, who made his first start since December 5 in the goalless draw with Crystal Palace on Monday night.
