Dominic Calvert-Lewin celebrating while playing for Leeds United
The Whites signed the striker on a free transfer last summer, shortly after his contract with Everton expired.
Daniel Farke's side were the team that took a chance on the 29-year-old, who had been struggling with form and injury issues.
Calvert-Lewin became an instant hit at Elland Road, scoring 15 goals and has put himself back in contention for selection with the England squad.
The England international has started this season well, and the Red Devils are looking to prize the Whites' star man away from them in the winter.
However, Leeds are already doing their best to keep Man United away from Calvert-Lewin.
Leeds take action as Man United consider Dominic Calvert-Lewin transfer
According to a report from The Athletic this Thursday, Man United are exploring the market for strikers in the January transfer window, and Calvert-Lewin is under consideration.
The move is considered remote given the fierce rivalry between Leeds and the Red Devils, and the Whites are now understood to be looking at handing the player a new contract.
Karl Darlow left Elland Road in the summer following his contract expiring in LS11, and chose to join Michael Carrick's side.
While there wasn't really too much animosity from Leeds fans towards the goalkeeper for making the move, it was always a decision that was going to make people talk.
A potential move for Calvert-Lewin, on the other hand, could cause chaos, but Farke and Co., and it appears the club are already doing their best to keep him at Elland Road.
The striker played and scored in the Whites' 1-1 draw to Man United in the Premier League earlier in October, and the Red Devils clearly liked what they saw.
Should Leeds be worried about Calvert-Lewin potentially joining Man United
Well, going off Calvert-Lewin's words about Leeds, supporters should not be worried.
The Englishman has been vocal about his love for the Whites ever since joining last year.
After scoring in a 4-1 win over Crystal Palace last December, he wrote on his Instagram, as highlighted by the Yorkshire Evening Post: "Last Christmas (accompanied with a starry-eyed emoji). A top performance and unbelievable support again under the lights. I love it here. MOT."
Calvert-Lewin has only gone from strength to strength since, and it would be a huge shock if he were to choose Old Trafford in January.
Let's see how the contract talks go.
