It was announced on Tuesday afternoon that Leeds United were reportedly set to trigger a clause in the manager's contract to keep Garry Monk at the club for another campaign.

There seems to be a mixed reaction amongst the Elland Road faithful following the news, many considering the ex-Swansea City boss doesn't have the capability to lead the Whites to promotion.

Monk was on the verge of leading Leeds to the Sky Bet Championship play-offs but the last month of the 2016/17 season saw them pick up a measly six points from a possible 28.

That poor form meant they would drop out of the top-six and finish in seventh, five points off where they wanted to be, ultimately losing out to Fulham.

However, Garry Monk did earn a trip to Anfield in the League Cup for their encounter against Liverpool, but only lost 2-0 and would have been two matches away from Wembley.

Here is how Leeds United fans have reacted to the news on Twitter.........
