Leeds could benefit after major move leaves Man Utd star mulling exit A frequently touted deal between Leeds and Man Utd has again come into focus after Jadon Sancho’s imminent arrival has left a Red Devil facing an uncertain future. England winger Sancho was one of the unfortunate trio to fail from the spot as the Three Lions emerged as runners-up at Euro 2020. The 21-year-old played a bit-part role in the tournament despite tremendous back-to-back campaigns with Dortmund. Nevertheless, with time on his side, Sancho will have many more tournaments on which to make his mark. Sancho will likely be a Man Utd player entering many of those future competitions with his move from Dortmund expected to soon be completed now Euro 2020 has concluded. However, his arrival may inadvertently push a current Red Devil towards the exit door. Daniel James has rarely been afforded a lengthy chance to impress since moving to Old Trafford in 2019. Mason Greenwood’s emergence threw a spanner in his prospects of regular game-time. Sancho’s arrival will push him even further down the pecking order. As such, the Scottish Mail on Sunday (via motleedsnews) report that he is ‘assessing his options’. One club who could benefit is Leeds Utd, with links between the Whites and James a common occurrence. The Welshman came close to joining Leeds in 2019 and was even pictured holding a club shirt as a deal appeared close.
