THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>When asked about being applauded by Leeds fans, Aaronson said: "For sure. It was tough at first coming back, with a lot of nerves, and a lot of not being sure at moments but I couldn't have asked for the reception that I have got and the guys and the team welcoming me back.</p><p>"It's been really good and I know it's going to be tough at first but I think with my mindset and my mentality, I am going to do the best I can and I think they know it too." </p>

WHAT AARONSON SAID

<p>The USMNT star is set to stay with Farke's side this summer and will hope to be the star for the Whites as they look to return to the Premier League for next season. Leeds will be in action again when they take on Hull City on Saturday, August 31.</p>
