The return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Man Utd looks to have already had a knock-on effect after Leeds were revealed to be closing in on a Red Devils forward.
The club’s forward ranks were already swelled with a plethora of exciting talent. Mason Greenwood has been in imperious form thus far this season, but Ronaldo’s arrival will likely push him back out onto the flanks.
Man Utd was willing to offload one winger, though that deal fell through at the eleventh hour. Now, according to trusted source Fabrizio Romano, another forward is facing up to an exit.
Romano tweeted Leeds Utd are in ‘advanced talks’ to sign Welsh flyer Daniel James on a ‘permanent deal.’ Discussions are described as ‘ongoing’ regarding multiple aspects of the deal including personal terms.
James, 23, almost signed for the Yorkshire club in the window before joining Man Utd. James came so close that he was even pictured holding a Leeds Utd jersey.
Marcelo Bielsa has frequently been reported to have retained an affinity for James. His all-action style would appear to be a great fit for what the Argentine requires from his wide men
