TOP STORY: USMNT’s Adams on Man Utd radar

Manchester United are keeping tabs on Leeds United midfielder and United States international Tyler Adams, according to Football Insider.

They believe the Red Devils have been monitoring Adams since his days at RB Leipzig, and have subsequently been impressed with the way he has acquitted himself in the Premier League since his move from Germany.

The 23-year-old moved to Elland Road on a £15 million transfer as a replacement for Kalvin Phillips, and Adams is seen as one of the club’s better recent signings despite their poor recent form.

Adams, who has 19 USMNT caps, signed a five-year deal when he moved to Elland Road, but the Old Trafford side remain keen to bolster their central midfield options.

The 3-2 defeat to Fulham last week was the first game Adams has missed this season, and his energy — and statistics — have impressed. He tops the list for interceptions in the opposition half, and is fourth highest for successful tackles.
