Lowe struggled against Jack Clarke last time out as Leeds beat Derby 2-0.

Derby County left-back Max Lowe has returned to Aberdeen on loan after struggling against Leeds United’s teenage winger Jack Clarke – and Leeds fans have reacted on Twitter.

Scottish Premiership side Aberdeen have re-signed 21-year-old Lowe, after he returned to Frank Lampard’s side at the start of January. He made two appearances this month for the Rams, but Lampard has chosen to send him packing.

Indeed, Lowe returned to help Derby take on Championship leaders Leeds – a game which has been marred in controversy since the Whites were caught sending a spy to Derby’s training ground.

Lampard has become an enemy of Leeds fans on social media since complaining about Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa, who has performed an “analytical masterclass” on Wednesday to address Spygate in an emergency press conference.

The Whites eased past Derby with an excellent performance last Friday, as Clarke terrorised Lowe. It was Clarke’s assist that saw Kemar Roofe score Leeds’ first, before Jack Harrison scored a second to win 2-0.

Lampard also played Lowe in the penalty-shootout win over Southampton last time out in the FA Cup, but it seems that the youngster has not done enough to remain at Pride Park. Reports now suggest that Derby are in talks with Ashley Cole.

Cole is a free agent after leaving LA Galaxy, and Lampard wants to bring his ex-Chelsea teammate to the Championship side to solve the left-back hole. Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to defend Lowe, and criticise Lampard.
