Following their relegation from the Premier League last season, Leeds United supporters are enjoying the time of their lives.
At this point in the previous season, they were on the verge of appointing their third permanent manager and were leaking goals left and right.
From top to bottom, everything was disorganized, but Daniel Farke has swiftly turned things around for the Yorkshire team.
Leeds has a good chance of making a return to the Premier League because they are currently atop the Championship standings and have a busy few months ahead of them.
Nedum Onuoha told ESPN that if they do decide to re-sign underperforming midfielder Kalvin Phillips, they should avoid doing so.
After moving from Leeds to Manchester City in 2022, the 28-year-old has a Treble to his credit on paper, but real life has been much harder.
While on loan at West Ham United, Kalvin Phillips has continued to spend more time on the bench than on the field for Manchester City.
Onuoha believes he is still better than that, though, in response to the suggestion that the midfield player return to the place where it all began.
The return of Kalvin Phillips to Leeds United?
Onuoha responded, “I’m going to say no,” when asked if Phillips will return to Leeds. I generally have the mindset that I will never truly go back.
He could be able to play more at Man City next season, but I don’t think moving to Leeds would be the greatest option for him.
“I think he is a player who could play to a higher standard and a team rather than one that would be fighting relegation next season,” the player said. “He could have that home bond or that home connection.”
Manchester City needs to let Kalvin Phillips go.
Look, you can’t imagine West Ham wanting to re-sign Phillips for the upcoming campaign unless he goes insane.
Since leaving his childhood club, the “all-action” midfielder has drastically declined and has even lost his England spot.
In order to restore that joy to his playing, he must leave Manchester City in the summer, no matter what. If it means returning to Leeds, then so be it.
Leeds must, of course, continue to do well on their own and advance. But good luck stopping them on their current trajectory!
