Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly preparing a summer bid for Leeds United and England midfielder Kalvin Phillips.

Phillips will have four years remaining on his contract after the current season. But if reports are to be believed, the Whites are eager to tie him down to a longer contract as rumours of a possible Manchester United move emerge.
Phillips is not the only midfielder Manchester United have set their sights on. Wolverhampton Wanderers star Ruben Neves is also on their wishlist. Reports have claimed that current Ajax manager Erik ten Hag, who looks set to take over as full-time Manchester United manager, is a big admirer of the Portuguese international and wants the club to sign him up this summer.
West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice has also been linked with Manchester United. The Premier League giants have previously shown interest in Rice as well, but the Hammers have been reluctant to let him go. However, this summer, it looks like the London-based club could cash in on the England international with Manchester United one of his possible destinations.
As for Phillips, with Manchester United preparing an offer to snap him up in the summer transfer window, it will be interesting to see how Leeds United will response to receiving a bid. The English international is sure to be a hot property ahead of the 2022/23 season.
