Brenden Aaronson makes honest admission about Leeds United fans on American television
Brenden Aaronson has said the fact that Leeds United fans have been “pushing him” this season has helped him feel more welcome at Elland Road since his return.
The US International returned to West Yorkshire in the summer after spending a year on loan in the Bundesliga with Union Berlin and, while he was initially met with some stick from fans, things have gotten a lot better recently.
Speaking to Golazo America (2 November), Aaronson shared what the fans’ recent support has meant to him.
“It was tough at first [returning to Leeds]. I understand the feelings they had coming back. It was tough, things happen, and that’s football at the end of the day,” he said.
“But they’ve gotten on my shoulders and they been pushing me, and I can’t thank them enough for that because it’s been really good me coming back. I’ve been pushing and putting a lot of work and I think they see that.”
