Here are the latest Leeds United morning headlines on Thursday, 15 September.
USA trip planned?
Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch is reportedly planning a trip to USA in November and December during the break for the winter World Cup. That is according to the Athletic, who claim the Whites could potentially head to San Francisco to help maintain their fitness as they prepare for six weeks without a game.
Many of Leeds’ squad will not be heading to Qatar for the tournament, and so they will need to ensure they remain on top fitness ahead of the resumption of the season on Boxing Day. Leeds face Manchester City in their first game after the tournament.

Fresh Man United issue
A fresh potential problem has emerged regarding the rescheduling of Leeds United’s trip to Manchester United. The Whites were due to face Erik ten Hag’s side on Sunday but have seen their second consecutive Premier League match postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Due to the unprecedented number of police needed in the build up to The Queen’s funeral on Monday, several members of the Greater Manchester force have been deployed elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Leeds’ home match with Man United in February was reportedly the most policed game in the Premier League last season and as a result, the GMP have deemed the game unable to go ahead.
However, in already hectic season of matches, the Premier League could be set to run into another problem when it comes to rescheduling the match. Should Man United finish either second or third in their Europa League group, they would have to play in either the UEL, or Conference League knockout round in February.

Adams and Aaronson
Leeds United new boys Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams have both been rewarded for their fine start to the Premier League campaign with call-ups for the United States. It's exactly two months to the day until the USMNT kick starts their 2022 World Cup camp ahead of Qatar.
Head coach Gregg Berhalter has called 26 players for the USA’s final matches against Japan and Saudi Arabia. The squad will get together in Germany ahead of the clash with fellow World Cup finalists Japan on September 23 at the Düsseldorf Arena in Düsseldorf.
