O’Leary praise

Former Leeds United manager David O’Leary has been speaking about the start to the season Leeds United have had.

The Irishman was talking to the Daily Mail when he stated he was ‘delighted’ to see Leeds had started well and that it would be ‘great’ to see Leeds back in the Premier League.

Leeds are currently top of the Championship after a brilliant start under new boss Marcelo Bielsa.

El-Mhanni heads elsewhere

Reported Leeds United transfer target Yasin Ben El-Mhanni will not be joining the club.

Leeds were club said to be interested in a move for the free agent, who was released by Newcastle United in the summer.

But according to The Sun, he is on his way to Royal Antwerp instead.

Peacock-Farrell assured

Northern Ireland international boss Michael O’Neill was happy with the display of Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell on his international debut.

The Leeds stopper has been criticised by some for his involvement in the second goal. However, his international boss was happy with his display and that the 21-year-old looked ‘very assured.’
