Manchester City have joined the race for Kalvin Phillips, as he looks set to reject a move to Manchester United.
Phillips’ future has been subject to heavy speculation over the past few months, especially with Leeds battling to stay in the Premier League. If the Yorkshire club do get relegated, some of Leeds’ better players, Phillips included, could be looking for a move to stay in the top division.
According to the Daily Mirror, Manchester United have been keeping close tabs on Phillips, but their Manchester rivals are looking to beat them in the race to secure his signature.
