First conversations with Jesse Marsch have been exciting for Weston McKennie as the Americans have discussed tactics, who he’s playing with and who he might replace. The head coach has even insisted the new boy will love it in West Yorkshire as much as he does.
Marsch is less than four weeks away from his first anniversary at Elland Road. It has not always been plain sailing for the 49-year-old, who has won 11 of his 36 matches in charge, but he has reassured McKennie he feels settled at the club and in the area.
It remains to be seen how soon McKennie makes his debut and who drops out of the side to make way for him, but he tells LeedsLive he is fit and ready to go from the gun against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Training will tell him what he needs to know.
