Leeds United playmaker Brenden Aaronson has been highlighted as one of the main dangers to England's World Cup hopes later this month. Gareth Southgate's side will go toe-to-toe with the United States in the second group game of the tournament.
The Three Lions will take on Iran in their opening game of the group, while Tyler Adams and Aaronson will face Dan James' Wales in the other group game. The tournament will be a first World Cup for the two American Leeds United players, with the squad being one of the youngest in the tournament.
Whites' supporters have already seen how dangerous the latter of the pair can be, as he burst onto the Premier League scene at Elland Road with a fine performance against Chelsea. Aaronson has impressed Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp who believes his energy could pose England problems.

"Yeah I like him, a player we’ll have to keep our eye on, gets in pockets, picks the ball up, slides players in," Redknapp told Sky Sports. "He’s a danger and they’re going to have huge energy, the US, it depends how the other games go.
"If you start well and beat Iran comfortably then that becomes a game you’re looking forward to, if you don’t the pressure will be on England. They will run, they will chase, they’ll have great energy in their team."
