McGrath: No surprise Man Utd, Liverpool fancy Raphinha

Aston Villa great Paul McGrath has urged Leeds United not to sell Raphinha.

Preview today's clash with Manchester United, McGrath wrote for the Sunday World: "The Brazilian winger looks like a class act and I am not at all surprised to read about rumoured interest in Raphinha from both Manchester United and Liverpool.

"Whether he plays or not this afternoon will be a last-minute job, but Leeds' fans will be hoping for some of the magic in Raphinha's feet that has got the big clubs interested in their man.

"Leeds could turn a quick profit on Raphinha, whom they bought from French club Rennes last summer.

"But Leeds' preference will be to keep their man."
