MANCHESTER UNITED are favourites to sign Leeds star Kalvin Phillips.
That’s according to Sky Bet, who’ve installed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side at 7/1 to clinch the midfielder’s signature during the January transfer window.
However, there’s no shortage of competition for Phillips with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City all in contention.
The 25-year-old, who has been on the books of Leeds since 2010, earned his first Three Lions appearance in 2020.
And quickly showed his abilities on the international stage when being named England Men’s Player of the Year after several impressive displays at Euro 2020.
But his exploits have attracted interest from several heavyweights with United the frontrunners.
Supporters are crying out for an upgrade in midfield with Scott McTominay, Fred and Nemanja Matic all failing to impress.
Sky Bet odds
The Daily Star claim United have made a holding midfielder a ‘priority’ next year and are keen to lure Phillips to Old Trafford.
The report also states that Liverpool (16/1) are ‘keeping close tabs’ on the player and have already ‘registered their interest’ in him.
Leeds are desperate to keep hold of their iconic midfielder and have opened contract talks to extend his stay at Elland Road.
It’s thought owner Andrea Radrizzani is even prepared to make Phillips the highest-paid member of Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
Phillips still has just under three years remaining on his deal, which expires in June 2024 and is valued at £60m.
Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City are the only other contenders in Sky Bet’s market, all available at 20/1.
