Tim Sherwood makes Manchester United claim after what he saw at Leeds
Leeds United have been on an unstoppable run of form lately as promotion to the Premier League edges closer into sight.
Supporters and pundits alike have been thoroughly impressed with the performances of Daniel Farke’s men, who have shown themselves to be the most star-studded squad in the division.
The likes of Joel Piroe, Dan James and Manor Solomon have excelled in attack, while the defence have remained largely resolute and more are taking notice by the day.
Sherwood makes bold Man United claim about Leeds
Leeds United have to wait until Monday for their fixture in this round of games, and it doesn’t come much bigger in the EFL.
A titanic visit to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United will see the winner top the table heading into the rest of the week, a contest Tim Sherwood, speaking on Sky Sports (22 February, 12:34), describes as a “cup final”.
Sherwood also went as far as to suggest there are players in the Leeds squad who could get into the team of bitter rivals Manchester United, who were at the time playing out a dramatic 2-2 draw with Everton at Goodison Park.
Ruben Amorim’s side are a lowly 15th in the Premier League table with just 12 games remaining.
“We’ve just talked about Man United. On the evidence of what we’ve seen, some of these Leeds players could play for Man United,” Sherwood claimed.
“Bombing forward, nice and secure at the back – they’ve got the whole package, especially in the Championship.
“If they win [at Sheffield United], one ‘cup final’, they will win [the league] at a canter and parade to the finishing line.”
