Former Leeds United cult hero Gjanni Alioski says returning to UK soil for North Macedonia's Euro 2024 qualifier against England at Old Trafford will be a 'special moment' for him and his international teammates.
Alioski left Leeds in the summer of 2021 following the Whites' ninth-place Premier League finish under Marcelo Bielsa, turning the page on a four-year stint in West Yorkshire during which his infectious personality earned him a special place in the hearts of both supporters and his teammates.
A year-long stay at Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli was followed by a move to Fenerbahce, with whom he won the Turkish Cup with this season. Alioski has remained a key part of the North Macedonia side and he will now be hoping to feature against the Three Lions and could come up against his former Leeds teammate Kalvin Phillips.
