Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa can't see Kalvin Phillips leaving for rivals Manchester United.

United have been linked with the 25-year-old and while Bielsa knows how important he is, the manager accepts a move away could happen, but played down the chances of that being to United.

On the United links, he said: "That's a question Kalvin needs to answer. Of course he's a very valuable player. We have to adapt ourselves to how he feels belonging to Leeds."

Bielsa added: "I'm sure the day he leaves Leeds and the way that he does it, far from provoking disappointment - of course it will generate disappointment - but it's going to solidify his link to the club, the people and the city.

"I'm sure he would only leave if it's guaranteed that the link to the place where he was born remains intact. He will know how to do it."
