All three of his former sides are often featuring in continental competition, but Augustin has taken something of a step down to play in the English second division.However, he had an offer from one of the world’s biggest teams.

What’s been said then?
David Ornstein shared that Manchester United had made a late enquiry for Augustin before his move to Leeds was confirmed.
“Man Utd made late enquiry for Augustin but Leeds move too advanced/impressive,†the journalist tweeted.
However, despite the reporter’s reputation of being reliable, one fan was unwilling to believe these reports until Phil Hay confirmed it, and The Athletic’s Leeds United correspondent was quick to oblige.
Sign of the times
This really is a sign of change in English football.
For the past 15 years Old Trafford was an infinitely more lucrative destination than Elland Road as the Red Devils lifted silverware year after year while the Whites stagnated in the Championship and League One.
However, the gap is closing slightly between the trans-Pennine rivals in terms of how much pull they have in the transfer window.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has United sitting just four points ahead of 14th place, while the Bielsa revolution is in full-swing at Leeds as they sit second in the division below.
If you were a player looking for a six-month loan would you rather work under a manager who is mocked on a weekly basis at a club that is severely underperforming or a boss who has been hailed as the best in the world at a team with serious ambition?
Augustin made his choice, and it’s one that signifies Leeds’ recent rise and Man United’s ongoing demise.
In other news, Leeds landing this 22 y/o on loan could create further issues down the line.
