The 60-year-old businessman has endured a fractious relationship with United supporters since taking control at Elland Road in 2014.

And last season he faced pressure to sell-up and ship-out as they once again failed to mount a promotion challenge.

Leeds are yet to return to the Premier League since their relegation and subsequent financial meltdown in 2004.

Though Cellino has offered his backing to new gaffer Garry Monk this summer, with the former Swansea boss bringing in eight signings as he plots a push for a top flight comeback.

Despite his investment though, some fans are still hoping to see him move on soon.

But the chances of that seem slim based on Cellino’s comments with regard to a recent offer from Red Bull - who already own sides in Austria, Germany and the USA.

Speaking to Isola 24 Sport in his native Italy, he admitted Leeds’ financial productivity has convinced him to keep hold of the club.

"I had an offer from Red Bull,” he said. “But I do not want to sell, for now.

“In England football clubs earn money from their stadium, merchandising, TV rights, the public.

“It is a fluid market that allows you to sell and buy.”

And he admitted his intention to guide Leeds to promotion.

“I want to get Leeds back to the Premier League,” he added.

However, Monk’s team failed to make a resounding start to the new Championship campaign, losing 3-0 away to QPR last Sunday.
