Here are the Leeds United morning headlines on Monday 26th April 2021.
Norwich and Watford to thank for cash injection
Leeds United are on course to earn an additional £4-5 million this season due to Premier League savings on parachute payments.
The league will no longer be required to provide parachute payments to Norwich City and Watford next season, because both teams have secured automatic promotion back to the top flight.
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire revealed that the £83 million saved would be split between the rest of the Premier League clubs.
Leeds United will also be aware that for every position in the Premier League, they will earn between £2-3 million in prize money, meaning a late flourish in the final five games of the season could boost the club's coffers by a considerable amount.
Scholes explains why Man Utd shouldn't be happy
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has had his say following the 0-0 draw with Leeds United on Sunday afternoon.
The multiple Premier League winner called into question some of his former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's decisions, especially when it came to substitutions.
As quoted by the Manchester Evening News, Scholes said: "I was surprised Pogba didn’t start the game, surprised Cavani didn’t start the game."
"I get the impression he’s a little bit happy with that draw.
"I don’t think he should be, not against a Leeds team without probably their best player in Raphinha," he added.
Carragher lauds football pyramid
Jamie Carragher spent Sunday afternoon as co-commentator on Leeds vs Man United at Elland Road, and had some choice words throughout the coverage of the 0-0.
The ex-Liverpool man did poke fun at the overall quality of the contest towards the end of what was a relatively drab 0-0, but had special praise for Leeds' Luke Ayling.
Ahead of kick-off, he claimed Ayling epitomised the dreams of every player within the footballing pyramid, and why the Super League needed to be scrapped.
"He's an outstanding player with a great story. We talk about the European Super League, you think of a player like him - starting at Yeovil, Bristol City and now playing in the Premier League at 29 years of age," Carragher said.
Ayling's path is hardly a well-travelled one, and somewhat Jamie Vardy-esque, but ultimately proves that there should never be a closed shop at the top.
