American media react to Brenden Aaronson after what Leeds United star has done
Leeds United star Brenden Aaronson has received mixed reviews for his cameo appearance for the USA in a friendly draw against Brazil overnight.
The attacking midfielder came on with just 15 minutes to go and was able to have a positive impact as he almost scored past Alisson.
The Liverpool keeper was able to keep the scores level but CBS Sports praised the 23-year-old (13 June) for his showing as a substitute.
They said: “Almost had a winner in the match but was denied by Alisson from close range. Just the kind of performance that you want coming off the bench.”
By contrast, GOAL.com suggested (13 June) that although he was “decent enough” at times he “Struggled with the physicality of Brazil” which let him down somewhat.
Leeds United star Brenden Aaronson features v Brazil
The 23-year-old spent the season on loan with Union Berlin but was unable to truly make a positive impact in the Bundesliga.
It doesn’t appear that he will be returning to Germany, with a stay at Leeds United now confirmed after talks with Daniel Farke.

Despite not impressing out on loan, he still featured for his national team in a friendly clash against Brazil which ended in a draw.
This would have been a perfect moment for him after the season that he’s had especially ahead of a return to Leeds next season.
Whites fans can remain confident in his ability and they will eagerly await to see what he can do in the Championship.
