Update emerges on Leeds United pursuit of Manchester United attacker Amad Diallo as Daniel Farke strongly liked in boardroom
Leeds United are reportedly undeterred in their pursuit of signing Manchester United attacker Amad Diallo despite their managerial situation.
According to the Sunday People [26 June, Page 56], any new incomings will be put on a halt as the Whites look to appoint a new manager.
That being said, former Norwich City manager Daniel Farke has strong support in the Leeds dressing room having interviewed for the job last week.
Farke-ball at Elland Road?
The German needn’t be a long-term solution but if he can get Leeds back to the Premier League in the first time of asking, he’ll have justified his appointment.
Based on how things pan out and how impressed the owners are after his first season, they can then decide whether or not to stick or twist with him.
It’s evident that had Leeds been in the Premier League, the San Francisco 49ers would not be speaking to managers like Farke or Patrick Vieira.
However, for the Championship, they’re among the best that Leeds can get and hopefully, the new ownership makes the right decision.
This is one of their biggest calls at Leeds as it could have massive long-term effects if they end up getting it wrong.
Big clubs that have failed to get promoted the first time of asking have often found it hard to reclaim their Premier League status.
