United's 2021-22 Premier League campaign will begin with a clash against arch rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford in a lunch-time kick-off on Saturday, August 14.

The Whites will be looking to push on after last season's fantastic ninth-placed finish upon their first season back in the country's top flight after a 16-year absence.

Leeds also have four players left representing the club at this summer's Euros and the YEP brings you all the latest Whites news here.

Leeds United touted as Billy Gilmour destination

Chelsea could agree to send exciting Scotland international talent Billy Gilmour out on loan and there are reports that the Blues would like the 20-year-old midfielder to move to Leeds United, Norwich City or Wolves if he is loaned out. The reports come from the Daily Record who have spoken to a well-placed Chelsea source amidst reports that Rangers want to sign Gilmour on loan. Gilmour began his youth career with Rangers.

Ben Brereton move 'unlikely'

Leeds have been linked with Blackburn Rovers forward and Stoke-born Chilean international Ben Brereton in the Chilean media but Lancashire Live are reporting that Leeds are unlikely to move for the 22-year-old in the current window and that Blackburn are confident of retaining Brereton's services. Brereton is currently representing Chile at the Copa America and qualifies to play for the country through his mum.
