Leeds United transfer news: Whites favourites to sign Serie A star, Leeds linked with title-winning ace

Leeds United will look to continue their solid run of form this weekend, when they take on arch-rivals - and former European Super League side - Manchester United at Elland Road.

As things stand, the Whites are sitting comfortably in tenth place, but could potentially move up towards a Europa League spot if they finish the season strongly and results elsewhere go their way.

Speaking ahead of the game, Red Devils midfielder Bruno Fernandes discussed the possibility of a reunion with his former Sporting CP teammate Raphinha, and revealed: “I think maybe he will still be injured at the time.

“I hope not. I hope I can play against him but, if I have to put him down in the game, I will put him down. The relationships stay out of the game. He knows that.

“He is one of the players who knows me better than anyone. He knows the relationship but even in the training ground, he knows it never counts when we play against each other.

“If we have to fight in the game, we’ll fight for everything and then go home. If there is time to see each other, we will see and we will talk but he knows, in the game, there are no friends at all.”
