The 21-year-old is in his third season at Elland Road and he’s considered one of the finest prospects in Europe after establishing himself as first choice under Marcelo Bielsa.
United dispatched scout Tony Coton to watch Meslier for Tuesday’s clash against Manchester City but it was a dismal display from Bielsa’s side, who lost 7-0 at the Etihad.
Nevertheless, United have been impressed by Meslier’s maturity and it’s not the first time that the Red Devils have sent scouts to watch the goalkeeper, according to the Daily Mail.
However, United’s goalkeeper situation has improved this term after David De Gea rediscovered his best form.
The Spaniard shared duties with Dean Henderson last term but De Gea has been first choice this season and has been United’s standout performer.
Henderson is expected to seek an exit at the end of the campaign if he’s unable to force his way into the side but Tom Heaton could become De Gea’s understudy.
Leeds have made a poor start to their second campaign back in the top division but they’d fight tooth and nail to hold onto Meslier, particularly if they can avoid relegation.
