According to a source, Manchester United is expected to throw a spanner in a potential Leeds trade-over concerns that a current regular could miss considerable time this season.
Man United officially signed Jadon Sancho for £73 million on Friday after a year-long pursuit. The England winger will add depth to a forward line that is already crowded, but his arrival may push another forward to the sidelines.

Welshman Since joining from Swansea in 2019, Daniel James has never been a regular starter. Last season, the 23-year-old was given 26 starts across all competitions, with the majority of them coming from the bench.
With Sancho's arrival being the worst kept secret in football, James announced in early July that he was weighing his options.
One possibility is to return to Leeds United, where he came within a whisker of signing two years ago.
Marcelo Bielsa has always thought highly of James. Phil Hay, the Athletic's Leeds specialist, recently reaffirmed this truth.
As a result, Leeds are rumored to be interested in bringing James to Elland Road on a loan or as a permanent deal.
Brighton has also expressed an interest, but according to the Sun, the couple will be denied their request.
DON'T MISS:
According to the report, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is 'hesitant' to sanction James' departure, despite the fact that his chances of regular game time are grim.
The ambiguity surrounding Marcus Rashford is the source of his argument. The forward has a long-term shoulder problem that may necessitate surgery.
According to the most recent rumors from last week, neither the club nor Rashford had made up their minds about having the surgery.
If the procedure is approved, Rashford could miss up to two months of the season.
As a result, James' value to the team has increased, and the story states that he may be given a new deal to keep him "happy as a squad man."
Man United and Pogba are in negotiations, according to Solskjaer.
Meanwhile, amid transfer rumours, Solskjaer has revealed that Paul Pogba is in talks for a new contract.
Since joining United in 2016, Pogba has been linked with a move away from the club. However, because he is nearing the end of his contract, such gossip has intensified. He is in the final year of his contract, and it is uncertain if he would extend it or seek a new challenge.
As a result, Paris Saint-Germain has surfaced as a possible suitor, but they are reportedly unwilling to pay United's £50 million asking price. Solskjaer addressed the problem after Saturday's 4-2 pre-season loss to Queens Park Rangers.
“Talks are ongoing between Paul's representative and the club representatives, and all the interaction I've had with Paul is that he's looking forward to the season,” he told the Manchester Evening News.
“The conversations between Paul and his representatives are often the subject of speculation. I'm not familiar with every single one, and I have nothing to say about it.
“There's always talk about Paul, and clubs are always interested in him, and we've seen Paul at his finest. Paul understands how we feel about it, and I've liked working with him, and I hope we can continue to collaborate.”
