Leeds United attacking midfielder Brenden Aaronson and his younger brother Paxten, who plays for MLS outfit Philadelphia Union, have exchanged heart warming messages of luck on Twitter with the former set to play Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday afternoon whilst the latter will take on FC Cincinnati in the MLS Conference semi-finals on Friday.
Via the Union's official Twitter page, Paxten said: "Hey Brenden, keep killing it in the Premier League. I just wanted to wish you the best of luck against Arsenal this weekend."
Leeds United's Twitter account responded by posting a video of Brenden wishing the Union luck ahead of their semi-final next week, with the USA international saying: "Hey Paxten and Philadelphia Union fans, thanks for all the support this season and congrats on making the MLS Cup semi-finals. I'm going to be cheering you on from over here and thank you for supporting me."

Additionally, the 19-year-old Philadelphia attacking midfielder was recently a guest on NBC Sports, admitting that 'it's a surreal experience' watching his brother play in the Premier League.
"It's a surreal experience [watching my brother play in the Premier League]," Aaronson said. "When I was younger I was always watching the Premier League and getting to see my brother on TV playing against the top teams, top players, week in week out is just a surreal experience. I see him on TV and I'm like 'wow, that's my brother' so it's crazy.
"The dream was to play in the Premier League. I mean, it's the top league in the world so as a young footballer, aspiring to be a great player, you always want to aim for that top league.
"Of course I'm hoping to place my own path but having an older brother is really nice because you can learn from things that he does and take skills away from him, take lessons that maybe he didn't do as good or that he's excelling in so it's great and of course I want to place my own path."
