Leeds United fell to defeat in their first outing under new boss Paul Heckingbottom, with Sheffield United taking the spoils in a closely fought affair at Bramall Lane.

Chairman Andrea Radrizzani moved last week to address the failings of former coach Thomas Christiansen with the appointment of Heckingbottom, who has been tasked with mounting an unlikely push for the playoff between now and the end of the season.

Despite the failings of the first-team, there has been success at other levels of the club, with the U18’s side this weekend extending their lead at the top of their respective league table with a comfortable 4-2 win over Burnley.

Director of football Victor Orta has stressed an importance on youth recruitment following his appointment, with the younger ranks swelled with a host of signings over the past two transfer windows.
