Manchester United defender Scott Wootton recently left the club for Leeds United in what will be described as a very brave move by the youngster. He is hoping that the move to the Championship club helps in his career because he is a stage where regular football is necessary to improve as a footballer. He felt that he was not going to get it at Manchester United this season.

The defender has signed a three-year contract with Leeds, who are aiming for promotion to the Premier league. (more…)
