Former Premier League goalkeeper Brad Friedel believes the United States are making big strides in international football and part of that is down to Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson. The Leeds United duo both signed at Elland Road earlier this summer and have impressed during the early stages of the campaign.
Both players have added a new dynamic to Jesse Marsch's Leeds side as the American head coach looks to implement his own style of play on the Premier League, with survival the main priority last season. Before a ball had been kicked, there were questions over how the pair would adjust to life in the top flight of English football, but it's been a case of so far so good.
American Friedel worked alongside Adams during the set-up with the United States and he admits the Whites midfielder was one of his favourites to coach.
