Leeds vs Chelsea at Elland Road wasn’t a match for the ages, but it seems as though Victor Orta was very engaged with the game.

The 0-0 draw wasn’t the most action-packed of games, but as ever, the Yorkshire club’s high-energy Director of Football was going crazy in the stands.

Orta is lucky enough to be able to watch the games in the stadium, and while Elland Road hasn’t been rocking as it usually would be, the Spaniard makes sure he brings the atmosphere.

Indeed, Jermaine Beckford has shared what Orta kept shouting during United’s game against their bitter rivals.

Orta may be an employee, but it seems as though he’s also a massive fan nowadays.

There are few Directors of Football who have as much passion and energy as Orta, and his antics this season have been incredible to watch.

The absence of fans has taken a lot away from football, but being able to see and hear Orta’s animated reactions have been a rare bonus of having empty stadiums in the past 12 months.
