Leeds fan-favourite Luke Ayling had revealed that he had never heard of Jesse Marsch prior to his arrival at Elland Road in an honest admission.
The defender has been a mainstay for the Whites since his move from Bristol City in 2016, becoming a real leader on the pitch. Ayling suffered a knee injury earlier in the season but after coming back has, more often than not, taken the captain’s armband with Liam Cooper being sidelined with a long-term injury.
He scored his first goal under Marsch in the dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Wolves just before the international break. The American manager has guided the Whites to back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since the first two games of 2022.
