Steven Gerrard would have 'point to prove' at Leeds United and learnt lessons from Aston Villa

Leeds United could do worse than hiring Steven Gerrard as the club's new manager. That is according to former Whites defender Danny Mills, who believes Gerrard would arrive with a point to prove, which can only benefit them in the Championship promotion race.

Gerrard is currently out of work after a disappointing spell in charge of Aston Villa, and has been linked alongside the likes of Brendan Rodgers, Carlos Corberan and Scott Parker for the vacant Elland Road hotseat.

But Mills believes Gerrard's record as Rangers manager, where he guided the club to their 55th Scottish Premiership title, as well as the Europa League last 16, should be enough to convince the Leeds hierarchy to give him a shot.
