Leeds star was involved in loss.

Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw has sent a message to fans reflecting on yesterday’s loss.

The Whites came up against a top Premier League side and were well beaten 4-0.

It underlined the gulf in class, and the challenge Leeds have ahead of them. Their first task is to win promotion to get back to the top flight.

Forshaw indicated he enjoyed the experience going up against Manchester United, despite the loss, and found it a useful pre-season exercise.

Forshaw was tasked with trying to shadow Paul Pogba, and stuck to his task well in the first half when the Frenchman was on the pitch, but stopping him was difficult.

The former Middlesbrough man picked up a knock in the second half after a tough tackle from Ashley Young.

Leeds have confirmed he will be subject to a fitness test before being ruled available to feature against Western Sydney Wanderers in the upcoming friendly on Saturday.
