Leeds United struggling for US support despite Jesse Marsch and San Francisco 49ers connection

Leeds United are struggling to attract supporters from the United States despite their obvious American connections. Data compiled by Morning Consult - a US-based global research company specialising in online survey technology - listed the Whites as the 12th-best supported club in the Premier League across the pond.

Unsurprisingly, US-owned Liverpool and Manchester United lead the way, but Leeds’ lack of pull is a cause for concern. For context, Crystal Palace, Southampton and West Ham and Newcastle United ranked higher on the list.

Unlike those clubs, Leeds have had an invested interest - both on and off the field - in the US. NFL behemoth San Francisco 49ers own a 44% stake in the club and are backed to secure a full acquisition by 2024.
