Daniel Farke sends telling Leeds United message to prospective free agent signing after big win

Daniel Farke's Leeds United press conference is currently underway at Elland Road, following the team's clash with Sheffield United. Below, we provide most of the questions and answers in full from the post-match debrief.


Before the game, Farke opted to stick with the same lineup that drew with Sunderland two weeks prior. Despite playing until 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday in Mexico, Brenden Aaronson was deemed fit enough to keep his spot in the starting eleven.


Elsewhere, expectations that Mateo Joseph would return to the side were not met, as Joel Piroe’s goal in the Sunderland match secured his place in the team. Junior Firpo and Ao Tanaka, despite their long flights back to the UK earlier this week, were also ready to play.


The first half ended without any goals, with Leeds being the better of the two sides, although their chances on goal lacked real threat. They needed just that extra five percent to put Michael Cooper under serious pressure.


In the second half, Pascal Struijk and Mateo Joseph both found the back of the net, propelling Leeds United to second place in the league. Stay tuned for everything the manager has to say about the match.
