The highly-rated frontman has taken on a promotion bid in the Championship after favouring a loan switch to Elland Road in the January transfer window
Jean-Kevin Augustin claims he did not turn down Manchester United, but admits that late interest in his services was ignored as he had already taken the decision to link up with Leeds on loan.
The 22-year-old frontman will see out the season at Elland Road after opting to take on another fresh start away from RB Leipzig.
With several clubs in the market for a new forward before the winter window closes, Augustin was a man in demand once an exit door in Germany swung open.
