Ronaldo Vieira has not been used too much over the summer by new Leeds United head coach Thomas Christiansen.

Leeds United head coach Thomas Christiansen has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that Ronaldo Vieira will get his chances this season.

Vieira is one of the best and most talented young midfielders in the Championship and has a bright future ahead of him.

The 19-year-old midfielder has been on the books of Leeds since 2015 and made 24 starts in the Championship last season.

The progress that the Portuguese teenage talent made last season was very encouraging, and many Leeds fans would expect him to kick on and establish himself as a key figure in the team this season.

The former Benfica youngster, though, has been sparingly used in pre-season friendly matches by Christiansen (click here to read more), who was appointed the new Leeds head coach earlier in the summer following the departure of Garry Monk, who is now in charge of Championship rivals Middlesbrough.

Christiansen, though, has made it clear that there are no problems with Vieira, and that the midfielder will get his chances this season.

The 19-year-old has also taken to Twitter and Instagram to express his excitement ahead of the start of the new Championship season.

“He is fine, everything is okay, there are no problems,” Christiansen told The Yorkshire Evening Post when asked about any problems with Vieira. “He will have plenty of opportunities in this team.”
