I’ve seen a lot of things saying like manager of the season.

I wouldn’t go that far because they’re still down at the bottom, but I’d give him eight out of 10. “If you think five out of 10 is mid-table, then I think eight out of 10 is showing just how he’s built that squad spirit, and he’s done a great job.

I like him, he’s an honest manager, he’s talented, and he’s been unlucky in a few results in some games. I think that he is the right manager for Leeds at the moment to keep them up, and I think he will.” Leeds make Brenden Aaronson transfer planSources have told Football Insider that Leeds want midfielder Brenden Aaronson to sign a new contract with the club this summer.The 25-year-old will enter the final year of his current Leeds deal this summer, meaning there is expected to be interest in the American international.Aaronson has emerged as a key player under Farke this season, and has contributed four goals and three assists in the Premier League. 🚨 Don’t Miss a Beat: Your Leeds United Insider Access Get the full story from Elland Road and Thorp Arch with our dedicated expert hubs: Updated 24/7 with expert analysis from the heart of West Yorkshire.
