United States national team player-turned-pundit Alexi Lalas has suggested that Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams could "end up falling upwards" if the club are relegated from the Premier League amid apparent interest from Manchester United.
Adams, who turns 24 on Tuesday, impressed at Old Trafford in midweek, notably pressing Bruno Fernandes into a mistake inside the opening minute to win possession back in the build-up to the opening goal of the game. That match marked the player's 20th appearance of the season since signing from RB Leipzig during the summer transfer window.
Leeds paid a fee of around £20million to bring Adams to the Premier League, and the player penned a five-year contract through to the summer of 2027. That deal may well secure the United States international, who captained the country during the World Cup last year, at Elland Road for the long-term on paper; the very real prospect of relegation means that all could change very quickly, as soon as the end of the season.
