Daniel Farke may be happy to show Brenden Aaronson the Leeds United exit door for good after what he said
Leeds United lost several players in the recent summer transfer window following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.
One of which was American international Brenden Aaronson, who left Elland Road temporarily to join Bundesliga side Union Berlin.
The 23-year-old has made 12 appearances while on loan at the German club, but he has yet to register a goal or assist so far.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for a player who joined Leeds for €29m (£24.7m) in the summer of 2022 [Sky Sports, 26 May 2022].
The attacker has now opened up on his struggles for his temporary team, telling The Athletic (8 November): “It’s like I always say, the show must go on. You have to pick your head up.
“I like to look at videos of guys speaking about the downs in their career. I think (Wilfried) Zaha said something recently about when he was at Manchester United and he wasn’t going to let his failure at Man United destroy his career.”
Aaronson, therefore, clearly empathises with Zaha and as such views his time at Elland Road as a failure, having failed to win over the Leeds faithful.
The Ivory Coast international quickly left Old Trafford and earned cult hero status at Crystal Palace, which could inspire Aaronson to leave Leeds for good and forge positive memories elsewhere.
There is, however, still a belief from Aaronson that he may return to the Whites next summer, with the attacker noting: “For sure, it’s possible. It’s not done and dusted or anything like that. I love the club. I love the guys that I was there with, the connections I made. It was just tough the way it ended.”
But Leeds boss Daniel Farke may have a different plan entirely, with the man in the dugout currently building a strong team at Elland Road, one that is now flying high after a few initial struggles.
Moreover, his decision to allow a player who chose not to stay and fight for the club in their time of need to return to West Yorkshire may not go down too well with Leeds supporters.
