Trash-talking, tackling, physicality, running until your head’s spinning. Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams have found the hymn sheet they want to sing from at Leeds United.
The Americans have been reunited at Elland Road and will play together in the same club side for the first time. The midfield pair, expected to play alongside each other in the engine room, have frequently played for their country together, stretching back to the national youth teams at 14-years-old.
Adams, inevitably, played a major role in reassuring McKennie Leeds was the right place for him to take a step away from Champions League football at Juventus. The USA captain has arguably been the player of the year so far and Adams is very familiar with the biggest asset United has.
