‘You’re the man’: Leeds United fans react to tweet from Patrick Bamford

If Leeds United supporters are one thing, it is loyal. For a club that hasn’t been in the Premier League for 15 years, they remain firmly behind their team.

In Marcelo Bielsa, they now have a manager who the majority of supporters are buying into.

The Argentine very nearly led the club to promotion last season but it wasn’t to be. His team eventually lost to Derby County in the play-offs, despite sitting pretty at the top of the league at Christmas.

That is all in the past though.

Bielsa has been working hard in the summer to get his team ready for another tilt at promotion.

A couple of players have already been added to the Leeds ranks, with more set to follow.

One of Bielsa’s summer recruits last season could be set for a big campaign in 2019/20.

Patrick Bamford arrived from Middlesbrough for a deal worth up to £10 million, according to BBC Sport.

It is fair to say that he didn’t really scale the heights of a player of such a valuation last season.

He missed a large chunk of the campaign through injury, scoring 10 goals in 25 appearances.

Following a pre-season trip to Australia, Bamford has thanked the club’s supporters and promised to continue the hard work, in a post on Twitter.

The club’s supporters have naturally taken time to respond and here is a selection of tweets in response to the striker’s tweet:
