The long wait for a Leeds United player who made a significant impact in a friendly is finally over.

It’s been a long time coming, but a Leeds United loanee has finally broken through.

A Leeds United loanee has finally been able to celebrate a significant breakthrough.

Brenden Aaronson, a USA international midfielder, left Leeds in the summer to join Bundesliga side Union Berlin on a season-long loan, however he concluded 2023 still without a goal for the club.

That goal, however, came in his side’s first match of 2024 on Sunday, when the Whites loanee produced a beautiful strike in a friendly against Arminia Bielefeld, who were defeated 2-0.

Arriving from the left side of the pitch, Aaronson controlled a high crossfield pass with his chest, taking a touch and then executing a clinical finish into the bottom right corner.
