Leeds boss McDermott sets sights on Manchester United defender Wootton



Leeds United manager Brian McDermott is trying to sign Manchester United defender Scott Wootton.

McDermott watched the 21-year-old centre back play in Manchester United reserves' 2-1 Lancashire Senior Cup final win over Manchester City at Leyland on Tuesday night.



Wootton is on a month to month contract but would still cost a nominal fee.

Leeds have rejected £1m from Middlesbrough for Ross McCormack but may sell if Boro increase their offer.

Sunderland, meanwhile, have been offered former Newcastle target Cheikh M'Bengue.



The 25-year-old left back plays for Toulouse.
