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.
Union Berlin entered the season in the Champions League after finishing fourth the previous season, but Aaronson’s squad ended last in their group. Union are now fourth-bottom in the Bundesliga rankings, barely two points above the relegation zone.
Aaronson was arrested for the second time in as many days third outing for Union Berlin back in August and the USA international has been limited to just 505 minutes of football for his loan side, including just four league starts.
