The Whites have opted not to make any major moves in the winter window despite the club's ongoing injury woes.
Leeds have been linked with a host of names and did try extremely hard to land the signature of United States international Brenden Aaronson.
Employers Red Bull Salzburg, though, declined the Whites advances for his services - with two official bids in excess of £15m rebuffed.
Victor Orta saw his attempts to lure the midfielder to West Yorkshire knocked back but Leeds do hold a strong belief they may be able to land his signature in the forthcoming summer.
United did land the arrival of youngster Mateo Joseph from Espanyol to boost the youth ranks at Thorp Arch in their one addition.
Here, we take a look at a number of names to be linked with a move to Elland Road this month... let us know which players you would have liked to see arrive:

. Brenden Aaronson - RB Salzburg
The genuine top target for Leeds this month. The USMNT star, though, is remaining with Salzburg until the summer. He would've solved some midfield problems - two bids were turned down. Photo: Getty
. Takumi Minamino - Liverpool
An option to fill the squad numbers had Crysencio Summerville gone out on loan. Leeds asked the question but it never became anything more than that. Photo: Getty

4. Lewis O'Brien - Huddersfield
One who Leeds took a lengthy look at in the summer. Another midfield option, he's been in good form for Huddersfield this season. United appear to have moved on. Photo: Getty
5. Boubacar Kamara - Marseille
Filed in the 'unlikely' category as soon as his name emerged in the papers. He's got a lot of clubs chasing his signature, will be one to watch in the summer. Photo: Getty
6. John Swift - Reading
Marcelo Bielsa is a keen admirer of the Reading man and the Royals perilous position both in the Championship and financially made this one look a possibility. Nothing more than chatter. Photo: Getty
