Michael Skubala will have to get used to the pressure and scrutiny that comes with his current position at the Leeds United helm. The coach will remain in charge at Elland Road for the upcoming fixtures, the club have confirmed, as their hunt to find a permanent successor to Jesse Marsch goes on.
As such, Skubala, who can ordinarily be found handling Under-21s matters, will get the chance to build on the progress he has already made with the senior squad since taking the reins. The caretaker boss had just one session on the Thorp Arch training field before taking the Whites to Old Trafford to face Manchester United last week, but he managed to get a tune of his side.
The Whites didn’t stray too far from the tactics Jesse Marsch had employed before his dismissal, but the alterations Skubala made produced a notable difference. United played with confidence, freedom and slightly more width in Manchester as they held their nerve and claimed a 2-2 draw against the odds.
