Attacking midfielder Joe Rothwell will be looking to make his mark at Elland Road after joining Leeds United on a season-long loan from Premier Legaue side Bournemouth
There is just over a month to go until Leeds United begin their 2024/25 season at home to Portsmouth and Daniel Farke's squad is starting to take shape. Three new faces are through the door, with Joe Rothwell the latest new recruit.
Pre-season is an opportunity for managers to trial different tactics and systems and it will be fascinating to see where Rothwell fits in at Elland Road. Here are three ways United could line up following Rothwell's addition: One thing is for sure, Farke will not want to leave his defence light on protection. Balance is important in the centre and Kamara and Ampadu have shown in the past that they can effectively break up play and disrupt the opposition's rhythm. A natural holding midfielder has to start to provide Rothwell with the platform to bomb on and join the attack.
Given Georginio Rutter starred in that role in the second half of last season, it would be a huge call for Farke to change his playmaker. We know Rutter prefers to play centrally rather than out wide. Getting the best out of him on a consistent basis could hold the key to their hopes of going one better next term.
