TOP STORY: USMNT’s Adams on radar at Man Utd

United States men’s national team and Leeds United midfielder Tyler Adams is on the radar of Manchester United, according to Football Insider.

The Elland Road side reportedly has “no chance” of keeping hold of the 24-year-old if they suffer relegation to the Championship on Sunday, with multiple clubs in the Premier League as well as in Europe already keeping close tabs on him.

Adams’ deal at Leeds runs through 2027 following his arrival last summer from RB Leipzig for a reported £20 million, including add-ons. The report states that Adams, who has missed the last two months due to a hamstring injury, could secure a move from Leeds for a £35m fee.

Sources have told ESPN last week that Manchester United are working with a budget of between £100m to £150m, which would be supplemented with funds raised by departures. Among the areas that Erik ten Hag’s side will look to reinforce will be in the midfield position.

Tyler made 24 Premier League starts for Leeds this season and served as the USMNT’s captain at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
