NathStPaul URZZZZ NathStPaul A decent centreback and holding midfielder required. I wouldn't even be slightly shocked to see United in for Kalvin Phillips, reckon he'd do well there.
AWB had a better season last year but I still don’t see him as a title winning fullback playing every week, I think they should at least add some competition there as I’m not sure Williams is good enough to compete with him
Phillips would be much better staying off at Leeds IMO in a system tailored to his strengths
He would be better off staying there but I think he will attract a lot of interest, hard to turn down the big money.
I have been hard on Phillips over the past couple of seasons but he has well and truly shut me up. He is a top player, only going to get better too.
He’s got a great passing range as the holding midfielder, but then Leeds play such an expansive game which really helps him and quite a few teams try to go toe to toe with Leeds so there’s more space in behind
Contrary to United, where most team just sit back and effectively park the bus which really does negate Phillips strengths
You only have to look at Drinkwater who turned from a very good midfielder to a bit of a nothing one when he joined a big team
