Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has launched a passionate defence of Michael Carrick, claiming that modern society and the football world are far too eager to see managers fail. The German coach believes his counterpart at Old Trafford has done a fantastic job despite the recent scrutiny surrounding Manchester United's form.
Daniel Farke is set to extend his stay at Elland Road after reports emerged that Leeds United have reached a broad agreement to keep the German manager at the club until 2029. The former Norwich City boss has enjoyed a successful tenure in West Yorkshire, guiding the Whites back to the Premier League and establishing them as a competitive force in the top flight.
Brenden Aaronson has been told what must be added to his game in order to avoid being outgrown by Leeds United, with Matt Kilgallon admitting to GOAL that the USMNT star is “not quite fitting in” at present. A new contract has been signed by the American forward at Elland Road, but he has started to slip down the Premier League pecking order under Daniel Farke.
Ethan Ampadu has ridden quite the professional rollercoaster over the course of his career, with former Leeds defender Matt Kilgallon assessing that journey during an exclusive interview with GOAL. The versatile Wales international has gone from joining Chelsea at the age of 16, finding himself “way off it” during a loan spell at Sheffield United before becoming a talismanic “leader” of men at Elland Road.
Leeds United handed a new contract to Brenden Aaronson after seeing the USMNT star head towards the final year of his previous deal, with Matt Kilgallon telling GOAL why those terms are much more than a transfer fee ploy. The Whites could have found themselves in a tricky position over the summer, as they mulled over a potential sale, but have avoided those difficult conversations for now.
Leeds are ready to pile pressure on under-fire Michael Carrick, ex-Whites star Matt Kilgallon has told GOAL, with another passionate War of the Roses clash set to take place at Elland Road on Sunday. The hosts head into that game with confidence running high and have been told that if you contain Bruno Fernandes, then you “stop” the misfiring Red Devils as a collective.
James Trafford has faced some uncomfortable questions for the first time as a Leeds United player, on the back of his £40 million ($53m) transfer from Manchester City, but Matt Kilgallon has told GOAL why the England international can be likened to David Seaman and Jordan Pickford. The 24-year-old shot-stopper has become a record-shattering addition at Elland Road.
Alan Shearer has praised the immediate impact of Declan Rice and Bruno Guimaraes following Arsenal's impressive comeback victory against Leeds United. The legendary striker highlighted how Mikel Arteta's second-half substitutions completely changed the match and secured a vital three points.
Mikel Arteta faces a selection headache ahead of a crucial European night after Piero Hincapie suffered a concerning injury setback. The Ecuador international was forced to leave the pitch in distress shortly after the final whistle of Arsenal's hard-fought victory over Leeds United.
