Manchester United 'considering £50m summer move for Kalvin Phillips'

Manchester United could reportedly make a £50m move for Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips during this summer's transfer window.

The Red Devils are allegedly planning to sign two new central midfielders in the upcoming market, as both Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic are preparing to move on.

The 20-time English champions are still said to be interested in West Ham United's Declan Rice, but according to The Athletic, Phillips is also a genuine target for the club.

The report claims that Man United have been scouting the England international for the last three years, and the club have started to 'explore the prospect' of signing him in a £50m deal.

Phillips, who has two years left to run on his current deal at Elland Road, has been restricted to just 18 appearances in all competitions this season due to injury.

A recent report claimed that the 26-year-old is keen to sign a new deal with Leeds, having been impressed with Jesse Marsch's work since arriving as head coach in February.

Newcastle United, West Ham, Aston Villa and Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in his services over the last few months.
