Michael Skubala is confident he can help take his Leeds United Under-21s to the next level, both as a team and individually. Skubala kicked off his reign in charge of the club’s youth team last week as the Whites saw off Derby County 5-2 at Pride Park, thanks to four goals from Mateo Joseph and a debut effort from Sonny Perkins.
The Whites will be back in action on Monday afternoon when they host Norwich City at Thorp Arch and they’ll be keen to build on that impressive opening day display by picking up three more Premier League 2 Division 2 points. Skubala, who was appointed at Elland Road last month, has had almost two weeks working with his promising young side and while he admits things will take time, he’s delighted with what he’s seen so far.
“I love the group already,” he said. “I think they’re an honest group, a hard working group and I think I need to gel them together in a structure that in the way we want to play as a club and a philosophy and an identity but that’s going to take time.
