Brian McDermott on his captain...
United boss Brian McDermott says he is not expecting any further bids for striker Ross McCormack.
The club rejected an offer from West Ham at the end of last week, and the United manager says he fully expects his new captain to be a Leeds United player after the transfer window closes on Friday.
“The bid for Ross was rejected on Friday and I’ve have spoken to Sam Allardyce since and he has said that they won’t be coming back in for him,” said the boss.
“I am confident that he will be here after the window closes on Friday. Ross has never asked to leave. He is my captain and he is a talisman for our team.
“He scores goals and he makes them as well. He has been a good leader for the team and for me and I’m confident he will remain here.
“He has been important since April, since I turned up at the club. I’m sure that he will get better and better and will and we are going to have him for his prime years.”
The boss did add that he has had interest in another player, and said: "There's been interest in one of the players, not Ross, and we'll see where that goes."
