Leeds United star Ezgjan Alioski is somewhat of a fan favourite at Elland Road.

Not only has the 27-year-old been superb on the pitch since joining the Whites from Lugano in 2017 he has also shown himself to be quite the character for his hilarious antics off the pitch.

And now, the North Macedonia international will have made himself even more popular among the Leeds supporters with his latest comments.

Speaking in a press conference ahead of the Whites’ FA Cup clash against Arsenal at the Emirates on Monday, Alioski took the time to aim a dig at rivals Manchester United.

When asked about Arsenal’s win against United, the Leeds star was quoted by BBC journalist Adam Pope as saying: “Even we could beat them this season.”

We love Alioski.

Not only is he someone who puts 100 per cent effort into each of his performances, there is not a player in the world who has a personality like him.

Whether it’s acting up on camera in the tunnel ahead of matches or losing his mind at Pontus Jansson for kissing him, the North Macedonian is a joy to watch.

Now he is showing that he really knows how to make himself loved by Leeds United supporters by taking a swipe at Manchester United.

However, let’s face it, we probably could beat Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side this season based on their inconsistencies and the fact that Marcelo Bielsa’s men are flying high at the top of the Championship.

Let’s hope that Leeds versus Man United is something that features at least twice on the schedule next season.

In other Leeds United news, Bielsa has shared an update on the Whites’ efforts to replace Eddie Nketiah.
