Leeds fans on Twitter lauded Raphinha’s performance during Leeds United’s 6-2 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday.
There weren’t many positives to take from yesterday’s showing if you are a Leeds fan, but they do see one in Raphinha.
There isn’t much Premier League experience in this Leeds squad, so patience is needed with this team that will have indifferent moments this season.
After taking a while to settle in, Leeds’ £17 million man [BBC Sport] is seemingly impressing the Elland Road faithful and they picked him out from their stinging defeat against their bitter rivals.
From a defensive standpoint, Marcelo Bielsa’s side were all over the place and duly punished.
But when they were going forward, it seemed as though the game was goalless and not the fact that the opposition were in the lead by a large margin given how they were attacking Manchester United’s penalty area.
After such a defeat, the only thing players want to do is go back out there and put things right and you would expect someone like Raphinha to keep his place in the starting XI.
