Leeds United 'hopeful of landing Manchester United youngster'

Manchester United striker Ashley Fletcher is reportedly wanted by Leeds United after impressing on loan at Barnsley last season.

Leeds United are looking to bring Manchester United striker Ashley Fletcher to the club on loan, according to a report.

The 20-year-old spent time at Barnsley last term, impressing during his half-season stint at Oakwell by scoring nine times.

It is claimed by The Sun that Leeds owner Massimo Cellino is now plotting a summer swoop for the Man United academy product, having watched the youngster up close during Barnsley's League One playoff final win over Millwall at Wembley.

Fletcher is said to be hopeful of moving away from Old Trafford in an attempt to secure more regular playing time, whether permanently or on loan, and would be open to a switch to either Leeds or Barnsley in the second tier.
