Manchester United 'watching Leeds United duo Kalvin Phillips, Ben White'

Manchester United are reportedly keeping a close eye on the performances of Leeds United duo Kalvin Phillips and Ben White as they consider moves.

Phillips was strongly linked with a switch to Aston Villa over the summer but stayed at Elland Road and signed a new five-year contract in September.

White, meanwhile, is only on loan at Marcelo Bielsa's side from Brighton & Hove Albion, but the central defender has been an ever-present for the Whites during the 2019-20 campaign.

According to Football Insider, United have sent their scouts to watch the duo on a number of occasions this season as the pair fit the club's new transfer policy.

The report claims that Phillips and White have both made strong impressions on the Red Devils, although Liverpool could battle their bitter rivals for the latter's signature.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are reportedly no longer in the market for big-name signings as the club continues to rebuild following a period of turbulence.
