Tyler Adams could hand Leeds United supporters another reason to dislike him in the near future.<\/strong><\/p>\n Leeds fans booed Adams when he returned to Elland Road<\/a> with Bournemouth in September, after leaving the Yorkshire outfit in 2023. <\/p>\n The Whites fans will surely hate Adams<\/a> even more if he makes a move to Manchester United, as he has now been linked with the Old Trafford club be journalist Ben Jacobs.<\/p>\n Speaking on the United Stand podcast on 11 December, he said: \u201cA new name that Manchester United are looking at at the moment is Tyler Adams, who is doing very well at Bournemouth.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd there is a possibility that Tyler Adams moves in 2026. As far as I\u2019m aware, it would be more for the summer rather than anything leading up to a big World Cup and a home World Cup for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Leeds vs Manchester United rivalry explained<\/p>\n Leeds and the Red Devils have a heated rivalry<\/a>, that dates back to the tensions between the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire.<\/p>\n Footballing hostilities increased in the 1970s when hooliganism was on the rise, and the intensity has remained since then, despite the sides playing in different divisions for a lot of their recent history.<\/p>\n Many Leeds<\/a> supporters still consider the rivalry to be their most intense, especially now that the sides are back in the same division.<\/p>\n Therefore, if Adams ends up there, it will be the ultimate betrayal for some fans.<\/p>\n What players have moved between Leeds and Man United previously? <\/p>\n The most controversial transfer between the sides was probably when United signed Rio Ferdinand from Leeds in 2002<\/a>. <\/p>\n The defender made the \u00a330million switch to Old Trafford, despite being appointed as the Whites\u2019 captain, and is still despised by the Leeds faithful to this day.<\/p>\n Alan Smith was another who made the move, after claiming that he would never play for Sir Alex Ferguson\u2019s side due to his loyalty to his boyhood club. <\/p>\n The attacker was an academy graduate but had no issue moving across the Pennines to their arch-rivals, but it has since been revealed that United were the only club he was allowed to join, as they were offering the money up front. <\/p>\n Eric Cantona was another high-profile transfer between the sides, with the talented Frenchman crossing the divide in November 1992.<\/p>\n He handed in a transfer request after being dropped by Howard Wilkinson, joining the LS11 outfit\u2019s fiercest rivals in a controversial switch. <\/p>\n Adams would be the latest player to do so, and would likely destroy his reputation with the supporters, even more than he already has. <\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?<\/strong>\u00a0Stay connected with all the latest Leeds United news, updates, and behind-the-scenes content by following us on our new Instagram account \u2013\u00a0@motleedsnews<\/a><\/p>\n ![\"Tyler](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Tyler-Adams-Leeds-stats-819x1024.jpg\")
