Leeds make surprise move for Premier League-winning midfielder also wanted by Manchester United

Old Trafford decision-makers are rumored to view Charles as a highly cost-effective contingency option for their summer midfield rebuild, particularly with other Premier League targets expected to command astronomical fees.

Charles, a product of Manchester City’s academy system, also boasts experience in elite environments despite limited first-team minutes at the Etihad.

During his time at the club, he was part of squads that won both the Premier League title and the UEFA Champions League.
