Jesse Marsch accepts he is still in the shadow of iconic Leeds predecessor Marcelo Bielsa... but the American is adamant he retains the support of United's hierarchy despite poor run

Jesse Marsch accepts he is still living in Marcelo Bielsa’s shadow but is confident the Leeds board will allow him to steer the club through their current crisis.

Angry fans turned on Marsch during Thursday’s 2-0 defeat at fellow strugglers Leicester which left the Whites winless in seven ahead of today’s crunch visit of Fulham.

The American, who kept Leeds up with a dramatic win at Brentford on the final day of last season, insists chairman Andrea Radrizzani, sporting director Victor Orta and chief executive Angus Kinnear remain firmly behind him.
