Leeds United midfielder Ronaldo Vieira has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that he enjoys the song about him.

As reported by The Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds fans have a special song for the 19-year-old midfielder.

“Ronaldo Vieira, he’s only a teenager, he never gives the ball away” goes the song, as reported by the publication.

Vieira is pleased with the song from the Leeds fans, and told The Yorkshire Evening Post when asked what the Whites’ supporters could sing instead after his 20th birthday: “That’s not up to me!

“But I do enjoy it and it’s obviously something new for me because I have only just been in the first team for a couple of years and it’s something new to me.

“There’s a few times that I have smiled whenever I have heard it during the game. I’d love to hear something else going on instead…”

Exciting footballer

Vieira is a superb footballer and is a key player for Leeds, and the teenager will be aiming to further raise his standards under new manager Marcelo Bielsa.

The midfielder is a very dynamic and combative midfielder who is good at breaking up opposition’s play and is able to go forward.

The England Under-21 international made 23 starts in the Championship for Leeds last season and 34 appearances in the league for the Whites during the 2016-17 campaign.

Promising season ahead

Leeds have not featured in the Premier League since 2004 and have become also-rans in the Championship in recent years.

However, with Bielsa in charge now, things could change next season, and perhaps the Whites will finish in the top six of the Championship.
