Sam Greenwood insists he’s never felt more comfortable in his new Leeds United midfield role as he continues to establish himself at Elland Road. Greenwood spent his youth team days playing in a more advanced forward position, but he has settled into a centre midfield role under head coach Jesse Marsch over the last few months.
Premier League chances haven’t always been easy to come by for Greenwood this season, making just six appearances and one start, but the 20-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough moment last month against Bournemouth. Leeds were 3-1 down at home to the Cherries when he stepped off the bench to replace Marc Roca, but he bagged a goal and an assist to help completely turn the game on its head as Leeds secured three more precious points.
As such, Greenwood could be forgiven for thinking the World Cup break came at the wrong time as he looked to make the most of the momentum he had built up. The England Under-21s international is approaching the Premier League restart in a confident frame of mind, though, as he aims to take the next step in his career.
