Leeds United fanzine The Square Ball to stream mammoth session of Football Manager

This weekend will mark United's fourth weekend in a row without a game since the outbreak of coronavirus into football stopped the English professional game.

Both the Premier League and EFL campaigns have been extended indefinitely with action suspended until at least April 30 and UEFA working towards their European leagues resuming action in July.

But the show will go on thanks to The Square Ball who will be looking to emulate the success of Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa in playing a solid 24 hours of the hugely popular Football Manager game from 10am on Saturday and stream the entire mammoth session live on You Tube and Twitter.

The Square Ball are raising money for Leeds Fans Foodbank via a JustGiving page which by 2.30pm on Friday afternoon had already raised 124 per cent of their £10,000 target through £12,440 via just 553 supporters.
