Robbie Savage doubles down on Leeds United relegation prediction despite Weston McKennie admission

Former Premier League midfielder Robbie Savage claims that Leeds United will still be relegated this season despite bringing in 'good signings' like USA international Weston McKennie.

The BT Sport pundit has predicted multiple different clubs to be relegated this season, including Wolves, Everton, Leicester, Southampton and Bournemouth but has always stuck with his guns on the Whites going down.

McKennie was one of four arrivals at Elland Road in January as he joined alongside defenders Max Wober and Diogo Monteiro as well as club-record transfer Georginio Rutter, with the four set to bolster manager Jesse Marsch's squad for the rest of the campaign.

"Well with Sean Dyche going to Everton now, with his experience and how fantastic of a manager I think he is, I think he'll keep Everton up," Savage told Emma Jones on William Hill's Three of the Best earlier this week.

"The next few games for Leeds are vital as you say, they had a good signing in Weston McKennie, I think that one is a really good signing for Leeds.

"I still think Leeds will go down. I think Forest won't be in it, Bournemouth might struggle so I'm sticking with the three teams I said previously.

"Everton will stay up with Sean Dyche, and Leeds United will go down!"
