Leeds fans turning against Brenden Aaronson? ‘Big, pointed cheer’ blow as USMNT star faces future questions in Premier League promotion push

Championship

Leeds

Stoke

<p>The United States international was taken off at half-time during the Whites’ Championship clash with Queens Park Rangers. Leeds trailed that game 2-1 heading into the interval, with Aaronson <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-brenden-aaronson-compared-bee-leeds-transfer-call-american-playmaker/blt6050de844bbadbd0 " target="_blank">unable to provide a creative attacking spark</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>His withdrawal was greeted with enthusiasm by the travelling support in west London, with <a href="https://x.com/GrahamSmyth/status/1900903496993689938 " target="_blank"><em>Yorkshire Post</em></a> journalist Graham Smyth revealing as part of his in-game commentary: “Aaronson off, Gnonto on. Big, pointed cheer from the away end.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>More questions are now being asked of Aaronson’s future at Elland Road. He was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-brenden-aaronson-cant-press-button-be-hero-leeds-boos-goal-big-miss-elland-road-return/blt346365cc6bc41946 " target="_blank">blasted by Leeds followers</a> for leaving on loan after the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/second-chance-brenden-aaronson-25m-usmnt-star-return-leeds-loan-struggles-premier-league-promotion/blt0c55475aa716a8bc " target="_blank">club suffered relegation out of the Premier League</a> at the end of his debut campaign.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Aaronson has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-brenden-aaronson-explains-frustrating-compliment-leeds-reveals-personal-targets-premier-league-promotion/bltf3c159e0f9b35be0 " target="_blank">registered eight goals and two assists this season</a>, but consistency has proved to be an issue. The 24-year-old’s <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/wasp-in-bottle-usmnt-star-brenden-aaronson-backed-leeds-too-lightweight-premier-league/blt5c4eba8917092cb4 " target="_blank">commitment has never been in doubt</a>, but he is considered to demand too much from himself, which can adversely impact his performance.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>Leeds fans <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/usmnt-star-brenden-aaronson-jeers-into-cheers-how-american-midfielder-overcame-nerves-tough-situation-leeds/blt976769a0d45b947a " target="_blank">need to be won over once more</a>, with the club pushing hard for promotion into the top-flight. They cannot afford any passengers on that journey, with Aaronson having eight more games this season in which to prove his worth and avoid any summer transfer talk.</p>
