..Championship side Leeds United have denied Premier League giants Manchester United have bid for rising star Elliott Kebbie.
Reports had hinted Sir Alex Ferguson's troops had targeted the young midfielder and were closing in on his coveted signature.
However, The Whites have stated that United have not been in for the pacey 16-year-old while also commenting that any approach would not be welcomed.
"Leeds can confirm that no bid has been received from Manchester United for Elliott Kebbie, despite reports in the national media, and nor would one be welcomed," read a statement on the club's official website.
The Halifax-born starlet signed scholarship forms with the club last year and will join Leeds' Academy on a scholarship basis in July 2011.
Meanwhile, teenager Lewis Coyle has accepted the club's two-year scholarship offer while Christopher Dawson and Tyler Denton have also signed scholarship forms.
All four players have been with the Elland Road club since the age of nine.
