To say Jesse Marsch knows Brenden Aaronson well would be an understatement. The pair first worked together at Red Bull Salzburg, with Marsch taking him from the MLS to Europe and following Leeds United’s Premier League survival, they were reunited in West Yorkshire over the summer.
As such, the Whites head coach is far from surprised with how well the American has settled into life at Elland Road, having seen his remarkable ability to adapt and acclimatise himself to his surroundings first hand in the Austrian Bundesliga. Aaronson has been one of Leeds’ key men in the top flight this season, making a habit of producing exciting displays in the number 10 role and terrifying defenders with his tenacity and ability to work in tight spaces.
However, he hasn’t always been full of confidence in a United shirt, it seems, and Marsch has spoken about having to put his arm around him at one stage this season.
