Marcelo Bielsa will stay in Australia for Leeds United's clash against Western Sydney Wanderers

Marcelo Bielsa will remain in Australia for Leeds United's second pre-season friendly against Western Sydney Wanderers this weekend.

Reports earlier this week had suggested that the Whites head coach would only be spending 48 hours in the country and would fly home immediately after the friendly against Manchester United in Perth.

But speaking after the 4-0 defeat to the Red Devils, Bielsa's assistant coach Diego Flores confirmed that Bielsa will be part of the travelling party that move onto Sydney for Saturday's clash against the A-League side.

Two goals in either half from Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's side gave Manchester United a comfortable win over Leeds, as the Premier League side made their class show.

Saturday's clash will be Leeds' fourth pre-season test of the summer, with the squad due to fly back to the UK following the match.
