The club can confirm that Swiss defender Jonathan Rossini has left United's training base in Italy as the club have opted not to sign him.

The defender trained with United for three days in Italy and after talks with Rossini the club have allowed him to return to his parent club Sassuolo.

United owner Massimo Cellino said: “We want special players at Leeds United. Rossini didn’t show enough during the three days he trained with the rest of the team.

“After speaking to him it is clear that he didn’t have the right attitude to join Leeds, so we have allowed him to leave.”
