In a bid to get promoted from the English Championship, Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa took some risks. Players were moved on, and loan signings were made with expensive purchase agreements. The likes of Jean-Kevin Augustin will have stung the club. However, another deal made that promotion season was a deal to take Helder Costa from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Despite being rivals, it would be fair to say that Leeds and Manchester United have done a lot of business together over the years. Some have benefitted one club more than the other – Gordon Strachan one way, Eric Cantona the other – but it is usually a pretty decent way to go for a player looking to rebuild their career. And while some Whites fans have no real love for doing business with ‘them’, the sheer enormity of Man Utd’s budget means that it is hard to reject some of the players they have put up for sale.
