Leeds United lost against Huddersfield Town in the Championship on Saturday.

Leeds United head coach Garry Monk has suggested to BBC Radio Leeds that he is not in a position to offer club chairman’s Massimo Cellino’s opinion on result results.

The West Yorkshire outfit are aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship this season, but their start to the season have been hugely disappointing.

The Whites are third from bottom in the Championship table at the moment with just four points from six matches.

Leeds’s latest defeat in the league came on Saturday afternoon when they went down 1-0 to Huddersfield Town at home.

Aaron Mooy’s goal in the 55th minute proved to be the difference between the two sides at Elland Road.

Cellino has proved to be quite ruthless when it comes to dismissing managers when results go wrong, and many fans will wonder if the Italian entrepreneur could sack Monk soon.

The Leeds head coach, though, has refused to be drawn into any speculation, and has made it clear that he is not going to give Cellino’s opinion on behalf of him.

“It’s none of your business,” Monk told BBC Radio Leeds when asked what Cellino’s opinion is of his work at Leeds. “I’m not going to give someone else’s opinion. You have to ask the man himself.”

Leeds will return to action on Tuesday evening when they take on Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road in the Championship.
