Weston McKennie has taken to social media to dissociate himself from controversial comments made on the morning of Leeds United’s clash with Leicester City. The midfielder played the full 90 minutes for the Whites as they were held to a 1-1 draw by the Foxes at Elland Road, a result that keeps them in the mire at the foot of the Premier League.
However, a series of remarks made on a Twitter Space by an account which claims to be a friend of McKennie’s have come under scrutiny after the contest. The account in question suggested the midfielder made a mistake joining Leeds in January and took aim at the level of the team.
Since McKennie’s arrival at Elland Road, the individual has been prominent on social media and Leeds United fans have been seen interacting regularly with him. McKennie, though, felt the need to issue a statement on Instagram on Wednesday morning after the comments made by his purported associate on Tuesday night.
