Leeds United to swoop for Scott Wootton?

Manchester United defender Scott Wootton has attracted the interest of Leeds United, according to reports.

The 21-year-old has been at Old Trafford since 2007, but he is not being considered for a place in the senior squad under new boss David Moyes.

According to the Daily Mail, that could see Wootton become available for a permanent or temporary move away from the club, with Leeds interested in taking the defender to Elland Road.

The former England Under-17s player has previously enjoyed loan spells at Tranmere Rovers, Peterborough United and Nottingham Forest.
