Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to Marcelo Bielsa’s comments on Joe Gelhardt ahead of the match against Manchester United.

In his pre-match press conference on Friday, Leeds head coach Bielsa spoke highly of the 18-year-old forward and outlined where he sees the teenager playing.

Bielsa said that the teenager’s best position is as a centre-forward and stated his attributes.

The Argentine told Leeds Live: “His natural position is as a centre-forward. He’s a player who has a great capacity to finish off moves. And he’s a player who has dribbling skills in the final third and just before the finalisation of the move.”

Leeds will take on United at Elland Road in the Premier League on Sunday.

The England Under-18 international forward joined Leeds from Wigan Athletic last summer.

Some Leeds fans have given their take on the comments from Bielsa on Gelhardt.
