Leeds winger Harrison: Marsch making major changes

Leeds United winger Jack Harrison says new manager Jesse Marsch is making major changes.

Instead of the familiar 4-1-4-1 that was utilised so often under former boss Marcelo Bielsa, Leeds operated in a 4-2-2-2 system in defeat to Leicester.

Harrison told BBC Leeds: “When he came in, the sporting director Victor said it perfectly, he's the perfect man for the job with all of his characteristics and what he brings as a manager and a person - I think it's exactly what we need in this moment.

“With the change in formation and the change in tactics, I've been asked to play in a little bit of a different role - which I am excited about. I grew up playing in a more central role as a number 10 so bringing back some old memories from when I was a kid is nice.

“I really enjoy playing in that system and I'm hoping to see a more improved Jack Harrison, score more goals and have more impact on games but at the same time continue that work ethic and determination defensively to get the job done.

“I'm excited to see what's going to happen, I've got a good relationship with Jesse and I'm really excited to be working with him."
