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.

Leeds United travel to bottom side Cardiff City on Saturday for a rare 15:00 BST kick-off. It will be the Whites' first chance to recover after the first league defeat of the season last weekend against Burnley where manager Daniel Farke felt his side had performed well.

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.
