Marcelo Bielsa raves about Leeds youngster Jamie Shackleton
Marcelo Bielsa was full of praise for highly rated young midfielder Jamie Shackleton ahead of Leeds United’s EFL Cup clash against Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday at Elland Road.
The 18-year-old, who can operate as a midfielder or as a wing-back, made his competitive debut for Leeds and came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute against Derby County on Saturday.
The youngster put in an assured performance and earned praise from his boss as Leeds thrashed their Championship rivals 4-1 at Pride Park.
Bielsa has made it clear that Shackleton will be starting against Bolton in the EFL Cup clash tomorrow.
