Pablo Hernandez and Manchester City-owned Jack Harrison were in action for Leeds United against Ipswich Town in the Championship on Wednesday.

Noel Whelan has suggested on BBC Radio Leeds that Manchester City-owned youngster Jack Harrison should learn from his Leeds United teammate Pablo Hernandez.

Whelan made the comments following Leeds’s 2-0 win against Ipswich Town at Elland Road in the Championship on Wednesday evening.

Hernandez, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, was superb for Marcelo Bielsa’s side in the match.

Harrison, who joined Leeds on loan from Premier League club Manchester City in the summer transfer window, also started the game against Ipswich and played for 58 minutes.

Former Leeds striker Whelan believes that 21-year-old Harrison, who can play as a winger or as an attacking midfielder, could learn from watching Hernandez.

Whelan told BBC Radio Leeds about Harrison: “He is still learning his trade. He could do with a bit of time watching Hernandez, how he slows the game down, then how he speeds up in the right areas, and his little one-twos, how he finds the space. I mean, anyone could really watch it. He is fantastic, easy on the eye.”

Stats

Harrison – who earns £51,000 per week as salary, according to Spotrac.com – has made eight starts and three substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds so far this season, according to WhoScored.

The youngster is doing well, but it is clear that the 21-year-old has a lot to learn, he could do with following Hernandez, who is one of the best attacking midfielders in the Championship.
