I am pleased Kalvin Phillips is reiterating his loyalty to the city but am also not surprised.
There are two surefire ways to undermine your hero status at Leeds United — signing for Galatasaray or joining Manchester United. When there was a rumour last summer that Gjanni Alioski was going to Galatasaray, graffiti was daubed on street art relating to him.
There is a huge mural of Kalvin in the city centre. Were he to move to Manchester United, I am certain that would be attacked.
The last player to make that journey was Alan Smith and it was painful.
