Brown told Football Insider: “I think they’ll just be looking to get all the plans in place, Marcelo Bielsa is working very, very hard for the new season.

“They’ll be looking at recruitment, they’ll be looking at training methods, they’ll be looking at details to continue improving on what they’ve already done which is a wonderful job.

“I just think he’s enjoying managing Leeds United, he wants to continue doing that and he works in his way and no wonder – just look at how good a job he has done.”
