Manchester United are in talks with Leeds for Kalvin Phillips and are also targeting Ajax attacker Antony.

United have held a long-term interest in the England midfielder and the appointment of Erik ten Hag has advanced negotiations.

Leeds value Phillips between £50-£60million and United have opened talks with the Yorkshire club, says the Manchester Evening News.

Aston Villa are also said to be interested in Phillips and are reportedly prepared to bid £60m to land the 26-year-old.

But the Red Devils have identified Phillips as a top target in place of Declan Rice after West Ham placed a £150m asking price on their star man.

Ten Hag has several names on his shortlist including Ajax winger Antony, who has flourished under his management in Eredivisie.

United want to secure a deal for the Brazilian this summer to avoid the risk of his value inflating after the 2022 World Cup.
