Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips has made it clear that he will reject any advances from Manchester United in the upcoming transfer window, according to a report.
The 26-year-old has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford along with England teammate Declan Rice, with the Red Devils said to be weighing up reinforcements in the central midfield area.
Phillips was linked with a move last summer, but after no move materialised, he remained in Yorkshire to assist in Leeds' bid for survival.
Despite their struggles this campaign, Phillips remains committed to the club and will reject any new approach from Manchester this summer, according to Mail Plus.
The midfielder is said to remain loyal to the Leeds fanbase due to being fully aware of the rivalry between the two clubs over the years.
The report also outlines how Phillips has told his side that he wishes to sign a new contract at Elland Road, with two years left to run on his current deal, although possible demands in excess of £100,000 a week could be a stumbling block.
Following his participation at the European Championships with England last summer, Phillips has endured an injury-hit campaign with Leeds so far this season, being restricted to just 15 Premier League appearances as a result of numerous problems.
