Jesse Marsch is tipping Brenden Aaronson to play a key role for Leeds United this season after watching his encouraging performance against Aston Villa on Sunday morning. Aaronson produced a lively display at the Suncorp Stadium against Premier League opposition, looking to get on the ball as much as possible and create things in front of a crowd of more than 40,000 people.
The United States international impressed off the ball, too, as he pressed defenders high up the field and dropped deep in order to help his side win back possession. The match was only a pre-season friendly, of course, but Aaronson, signed from Red Bull Salzburg at the start of the off-season, certainly looked the part and the head coach likes what he has seen so far.
Marsch knows the midfielder well having worked with him in Austria and he certainly knows what the 21-year-old is capable of in the white of Leeds.
