So seeing as this is a rumour site I thought I'd pass on an interesting rumour that I have heard today.

Apparently an issue has come up in Sancho's medical which is making United think twice about signing him. They are awaiting the results of further tests.

He was due to be announced today along with the new kit launch but this detail is holding things up.

The club have enquired about Federico Chiesa as a possible alternative if these other tests on Sancho highlight a bigger issue.

Not sure how true this all is, it comes from a friend who is in with a crowd of people in London that includes some players and agents. Sometimes he's on the money, other times not. So like anything take it with a pinch or salt.

Sancho and Rashford were on a plane together last night heading off for a break. If there was an issue with the medical I think they wouldn't let him go abroad.

Rosie, I'm not interested in a bridge, but if you've got some magic beans I'm keen 😂.

I think chiesa is a better player, should have bought him last year, a much cheaper alternative too.

Hard to buy a player if he doesn't want to leave Italy mind.

{Ed0666's Note - You do what most rich clubs do bribe the player.

Great rumour about Kalvin Phillips on Leeds page.

Shappy you must be the only bloke alive that requires five paragraphs for that limited tosh 😂 😂.

{Ed014's Note - to be fair you got away lightly!

It's a rumour, probably like 99% of rumours it's probably is a load of tosh. I did say take it with a pinch of salt. But seeing as this is a rumours page, it seemed an appropriate place to talk about a rumour.

as for Kalvin Phillips, to be honest I'd probably prefer him over Rice due to him being a better passer of the ball. I just don't see a Leeds lad through and through moving to United.

Patrick, I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but it's very rare.

Eric Cantona.

Joe Jordon
Gordon McQueen
Denis Irwin
Rio Ferdinand

To name a few. Yep, extremely rare 😂.

Cantona has done a great job in masking that Leeds accent of his, likewise for the others, I mean Irwin gets that Irish accent down to a T.

Scooby,

Aren’t the first 2 Scottish?

GDS2. Yes they are. Your point is?
They came from Leeds to United. 🤔.

Scooby, I said "I just don't see a Leeds lad through and through moving to United".

Meaning a lad born in Leeds/ Yorkshire who has grown up supporting Leeds United.

Jordan and McQueen are Scottish, Cantona French, Irwin Irish and Ferdinand from London.

Signing Kalvin Phillips who was born in Leeds, grew up there and is a boyhood supporter would be like Alan Smith signing. Which went down like a lead balloon with the Leeds fans. Phillips has even spoken about how he felt seeing Smith sign for United when he was a boy and how much he hated it.

It's not an impossible deal, I just think signing Messi for a packet of Quavers would be more realistic and easier to complete.

Read his post Scrappy Doo. He pointed out that Phiilips was a Leeds lad.

As Patrick said, Smudge was known as Mr. Leeds United, born and bred in the town when asked once if there was any club he would never play for, he said Man Utd. Then in 2004 he moved to Manchester.

Scooby,

My point? That they aren’t from Leeds 😂.
