Sheffield Utd caretaker boss Heckingbottom: Leeds right club for me, but wrong time

Sheffield United caretaker boss Paul Heckingbottom has no regrets over his time with Leeds United.

Heckingbottom struggled to make his mark against this weekend's opponents.

But he said on Thursday: "Obviously people will be talking about it - a former club playing or managing, it's always nice to go back and see people, it's a different feeling - our approach is still the same, three points at stake and looking to build on that Chelsea performance."

On not playing more at Elland Road, he continued: "Yeah of course, I would be lying if I didn't, but there's no ill feeling, it was the right club wrong time for myself and that's how you look at it.

"There are lots of things I take from that which are positive and they will say that if they are honest, it's not always seen on the pitch, there's always work going on behind the scenes and that's the best work that you do that not everybody sees.

"I still keep in contact with the people at Leeds and it will be good to catch up with them."
