Some Manchester City supporters are reacting to one of their players’ performances for Leeds United at the weekend.

The on-loan winger, Jack Harrison, appeared alongside the former Blue, Ian Carlos Poveda, as Leeds beat Sheffield United 1-0 at Bramall Lane.

And Harrison capped an impressive display with the assist from which Patrick Bamford scored the winner – a looping left-footed cross which met perfectly his teammate’s head.

It was the 23-year-old’s second direct goal contribution in his first three Premier League outings.

And that bodes well for Leeds, whose deal for Harrison includes a ‘view to a permanent move’.

Despite that, Premier League rules stipulate that Harrison cannot play against his parent club, in their competition, whilever he is still on loan.

And that means the Stoke-born player will be sat in the stands when the Whites host Manchester City on Saturday evening.

Given his early-season form, several of a City persuasion will be glad that Harrison cannot come back to haunt them – at least not on this occasion.

And a few Blues fans perhaps even wish he was playing for them instead…

Who will come out on top when Leeds play Manchester City this weekend?
