How many chances will Leeds hand winger Jack Harrison after a series of incredibly poor displays?

Yet again, the 22-year-old flyer was woeful in the 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough on Saturday, and you can rightly question why Marcelo Bielsa continues to stick with him time and time again.

Boro were handed glorious benefits when Harrison failed to track back properly for the entirety of the game and the impact he makes in the final third is hard to be found.

This was no doubt causing frustration in the stands yet again and soon the fans will start turning on Harrison if he does not get his head together and start improving.

This is why many Whites’ supporters will be counting their lucky stars that Harrison will likely be leaving at the end of the season to return back to parent club Manchester City, where he is currently on loan from.

There is no reason that anybody would want him to extend his stay at Elland Road after a horror show of a season so far, and fingers crossed that Marcelo Bielsa has the same view in the summer – especially if they end up getting promoted to the Premier League.

Harrison is a long stretch from playing at this kind of standard so it is a blessing in disguise that he will make the trip back to Manchester in a few months’ time.

He is unlikely to make a mark there based on the talent that they have, so it would not be surprising if he is loaned out yet again.

Either way, Leeds fans will be jumping for joy when Harrison leaves, as he is just a burden on the team – the performance against Boro was no doubt the final straw.

Whatever potential he may have had has obviously not been unleashed at Leeds, so when he does leave, he is unlikely to be missed very much.
