LEEDS, England — Red Bull has bought a minority stake in English soccer club Leeds in a deal that will also see the energy drink company become the team's shirt sponsor next season. The club has announced a "multi-year agreement" with Red Bull. The company's other soccer interests include stakes in Leipzig in Germany and Salzburg in Austria. Leeds missed out on a return to the Premier League for next season by losing to Southampton in the second-tier Championship playoff final on Sunday.
