Man Utd hero Berbatov urges Solskjaer to sign Leeds midfielder Phillips

Manchester United hero Dimitar Berbatov thinks the club should sign Kalvin Phillips.

The Leeds United midfielder has been a standout performer in England's run to the Euro 2020 final.

Liverpool have also shown an interest in the Leeds native, and Berbatov thinks United should pursue a deal.

"Kalvin Phillips stood out again too [in the 2-1 semi-final win over Denmark]," Berbatov said. "He's been one of the players of the tournament and, sooner or later, I expect him to leave Leeds for a bigger club.

"Offers will come in for him after the tournament. He is playing with maturity, agility, knowing when to run with the ball and when to pass.

"I would like to see him sign for Manchester United."
