"Leeds" has already rejected two offers for A.Smith © EuroFootball.com

The club has already rejected two offers for the purchase of player Alan Smith. Initially, "Man Utd" offered £3.5 million for the player. When "Leeds" rejected the offer, the Red Devils raised the price to £5.5 million, but this offer was also rejected. A Leeds representative told the press: "Manchester United's offers significantly undervalue Alan Smith, one of the best players in the Premier League. He is worth more than what Manchester is prepared to pay. Both offers were rejected immediately." With the player's price approaching £10 million, it is believed that the club is preparing to offer roughly that much money. Having just sold Emile Heskey to Liverpool, the club now has enough money to snatch a player directly from the clutches of "Man Utd."
