Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has seemingly confirmed that Michael Skubala will still be in charge for this weekend's clash against Manchester United.
The Whites owner admitted that the search for a new permanent manager will still be ongoing into next week, meaning Skubala will have a second bite-of-the-cherry to beat Erik ten Hag's men on Sunday.
This all stems from the club's decision to cut ties with American manager Jesse Marsch on Monday afternoon after the 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest left them 17th in the Premier League table.

Revealing the quick conversation on social media, Conor McGilligan from our sister title the Manchester Evening News and formerly of Leeds Live, directly messaged the Leeds owner asking him: "Manager before the weekend, Andrea?"
Radrizzani kept his response short and sweet, simply replying: "After the weekend."
That would seem to mean that the Whites are not particularly close in finding a replacement for Marsch, after attempts to snag both West Brom's Carlos Corberan and Rayo Vallecano's Andoni Iraola have appeared to end in failure.
