Stuart McKinstry knows he’s unlikely to ever come across a man like former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa again. McKinstry is currently plying his trade at boyhood club Motherwell after joining the Scottish outfit on loan over the summer and it seems he is starting to catch the eye.
After starting the Scottish Premiership season down the Fir Park pecking order, McKinstry has managed to work his way into Steven Hammell’s starting XI and now looks to be a key man for the club moving forward. He bagged his first two goals for the club last month, against Rangers and Aberdeen, and his performances have been enough to see him named the club’s player of the month for October.
McKinstry has also been named in the Scotland Under-21s squad for their upcoming friendly with Iceland. As such, the 20-year-old winger, who made his debut for Leeds in November 2021 against Tottenham Hotspur, has been reflecting on his journey so far.
