McKennie makes statement after Leeds run down by friend

USA midfielder Weston McKennie has released a statement regarding a comment made by a friend.

A person claiming to be friends with McKennie stated he made a mistake joining Leeds United in the winter.

The Juventus star has not enjoyed the best of seasons, as it appears he is unlikely to earn a permanent move to Leeds.

“I just wanted to clarify that things said yesterday have not come from me. When people you know look to defend you, they generally do it from a place of love but if I have something I want to say It will come directly from me," McKennie wrote on Instagram.

“As always the support in Elland Road yesterday was amazing. Lets fight together for the next 5 games and keep this club where it belongs."
