Leeds United are in initial talks with former Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder to replace Jesse Marsch.

The Dutchman, 50, watched Sunday's 2-0 loss to Manchester United at Elland Road and has been shown around the club, including the training ground.

Schreuder replaced Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag at Ajax in the summer but was sacked in January.

Leeds have had several setbacks in their hunt for a manager since American Marsch was dismissed last Monday.

Feyenoord's Arne Slot ruled himself out while an approach for Rayo Vallecano's Andoni Iraola was blocked.

Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou says he is "shutting out" links with the job.

Another target was West Brom head coach Carlos Corberan - a former assistant to Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds - but he signed a new deal with the Championship side a day after Marsch's sacking.
