Milner, Rose and Erling Haaland - Who else made it into a Yorkshire-only Leeds United squad on Football Manager?

In these strange times with no real football on offer, plenty of us are turning to virtual versions of the sport.

Whether it be FIFA or Football Manager, the beautiful game in this format can be accessed whenever we like - without the threat of postponement or cancellation.

Some people clearly have lots of time on their hands that they can come up with imaginative challenges to try and conquer.

And one such Leeds United fan has done exactly that, by compiling a Whites' squad consisting entirely of Yorkshire-born players - including one superstar striker that surprisingly fits into the criteria.

The player's 20-man squad contains players born within the Broad Acres, including Daniel James (Hull), Kalvin Phillips (Leeds) and Mason Greenwood (Bradford).

Eyebrows will almost certainly be raised at the inclusion of Borussia Dortmund's star striker Erling Braut Haaland.

But he was born in Leeds in 2000 as his father Alf-Inge was playing at Elland Road at the time.

The Reddit user, posting an image of his Yorkshire-only squad, says Haaland is his key asset: "Hands down best player I've ever had on the game. Squad is pretty much The Erling Haaland Show.... and supporting cast.

"He's been PFA player of the year both seasons in the Prem, 49 goals last season. Without him I'd be scrapping it out near (the) bottom."
