Leeds United news as Bielsa opens up on Leeds exit and Adams receives praise for England display

Your evening Leeds United headlines for Saturday, November 26.

Bielsa reflects on Leeds exit

Former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa has admitted that the way in which his time at Elland Road ended is a regret, nine months on from the Argentine's sacking.

Speaking at an event in Norway organised by the Leeds United Supporters Club of Scandinavia, the former Whites boss said: "What I received from you Leeds supporters is much more than I deserve. I don’t think I am worthy of the recognition you are giving me. Because what I did at Leeds, I was paid for. My years in Leeds were amazing. I would have given it all to end it in a better way.”

Marsch provides Ayling with key role

Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch has called for long-term servant Luke Ayling to be a key figure in the dressing room amid reduced game time this season.

The right-back has struggled for minutes with summer signing Rasmus Kristensen the American coach's preferred option but has been called upon to remain a key figure at the club whilst not playing as much as usual with Marsch saying: "Certainly Luke is that [an important figure] for us. So I've just tried to communicate decisions, I've tried to communicate what we need from him for him to continue to show, to be the example of how to handle difficulty with decision making from the manager and he's done that really well and to continue to be supportive of the group and to be ready to perform."
