The Leeds United squad remain supportive of boss Daniel Farke despite talk that he is under pressure to keep his job. The German was named as the Whites ’ manager last year, inheriting a talented squad that had been relegated from the Premier League, so the expectation for the previous campaign was to win promotion.

His critics were out in force in the wake of a 1-0 defeat at home to Burnley last weekend. Some supporters criticised Farke's decision-making and style of play as the Whites, not for the first time under Farke's leadership, struggled to break down a low block.

Substitutions have always been a discussion point during Daniel Farke’s tenure as Leeds United manager.

One journalist has provided an update on the future of Leeds United manager Daniel Farke, as the German is coming under significant pressure following a slow start to the new Championship season.

A common frustration among supporters from Saturday’s defeat was Farke’s substitutions, particularly at No.10 where the impressive Brenden Aaronson was replaced by Joel Piroe. The Dutchman struggled to make an impact on things and while not only through him, Leeds’ attack fizzled out as full-time edged closer.

Leeds United have Daniel Farke as their manager but a poor start to the 2024/25 season could see them switch their attentions elsewhere

Leeds United are set to stick with Daniel Farke despite the club’s stuttering start to the Championship season. The German helped guide the Whites to the play-off final last campaign but were beaten by Southampton and have failed to kick on this term.

Leeds United were expected to be one of the favourites for the English Championship title this season, but they are way off the pace at the moment and that’s placed extreme pressure on manager, Daniel Farke’s shoulders.
