Leeds United are currently top of the English Championship table following an impressive start to the campaign that has seen them win 11 of their opening 18 games.

The Elland Road outfit have lost just thrice, drawing the other four, and fans are hoping Marcelo Bielsa can finally lead them to Premier League promotion after narrowly missing out last term.

The Argentine head coach is highly revered across Yorkshire, and it’s not a surprise that a lot of Leeds fans have come after Sky Sports and talkSPORT presenter Jim White after he aimed a thinly-veiled dig at the 64-year-old.

“Emery’s English isn’t the best but he has the courtesy to speak in English.”

“You should try to learn the language.”

“Credit to Emery as he is trying… Bielsa should try more.”

White claims Bielsa should emulate Arsenal manager Unai Emery by speaking English in his press conferences, and Leeds fans have reacted thus on Twitter:

Another sly dig at Leeds .. ALAW .. hated since 1919 .. 100 years and marching on together #leeds

Bielsa does speak English. He lives round the corner from me and we see him in the supermarket. He speaks English. No idea why he doesn't in interviews!
