Marcelo Bielsa's outfit are searching to end a 16-year absence from England's elite, and Championship bosses have been high in their praise across the campaign after playing the Whites. Here's what some of them have said out United's promotion hopes with 10 games to go...
7. Paul Cook (Wigan)
"I would like to wish Leeds well they're a fantastic club. These fans are such strong supporters, they deserve success and I hope success comes to them this season."
8. Gary Rowett (Millwall)
"I backed them last year and I'd probably back them again this year. They're going through a sticky patch but they're the best team by far we've played."
9. Mark Bowen (Reading)
"It looks that way [promotion]. They've always looked strong for me. I didn't see them as a team out of form in anyway, they seemed to be like a well oiled machine to me."
10. Garry Monk (Sheffield Wednesday)
"I have said it all along, the ambition of that club is clear. Last year, I said at the start, that was the year for them, now they have had another right go for it. They will be expecting (promotion)."
11. Daniel Stendel (Ex-Barnsley)
"I think you can see why Leeds have ambitions to get promotion this year."
12. Graeme Jones (Luton)
"We've competed with the best team in the league. These are the best team, we nullified them today. I see them cutting through teams."
