Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has his say on THAT Patrick Bamford video

Marcelo Bielsa and Patrick Bamford sent Leeds United fans into meltdown earlier this week as the striker posted a clip of himself and the Whites boss celebrating in training.

The video showed the 25-year-old rifling a volley past goalkeeper Will Huffer, who made his senior debut on Saturday in a 2-0 win over Bristol City, as United took part in some attacking drills. The Argentine raced to meet his £9million summer signing from the halfway line as his team-mates watched on as they embraced with a massive hug.

Lovely stuff.

And now Bielsa has commented on the incident that took social media by storm: "It was a spontaneous reaction when I saw the beautiful goal from a player that is not playing now. That's why I allowed myself to make this excess."

Asked when Bamford may return the 63-year-old remained coy over setting any particular date: "He still needs more time."
