At the time of writing this, alot of Leeds United fans did not want Marcelo Bielsa and Jack Harrison to win either Manager of the Month or Player of the Month for November because of the curse. And, Bielsa has since been named Manager of the Month.
Bielsa led his side to five wins in November and is the clear favourite to pick up the award.
Is Harrison one of Leeds' most improved players?
Yes, Bielsa is making him better
No, he had a lucky month
Harrison, on the other hand, had a superb month as he scored three goals and set up one.
However, these Leeds supporters do not want them to win.

Nope we don’t want either thanks it’s a poisoned chalice. Let’s just quietly go about our business this season. No crying etc plenty of time for that when we get promoted. Arghhhh I said it sorry didn’t mean to!

What do we think?
Both Harrison and Bielsa deserve their nominations for helping Leeds to the perfect month.
The Argentine manager masterminded five wins out of five and also got the best out of Harrison.
This was a breakthrough month for the 23-year-old as he nearly doubled his Leeds goal tally in one brilliant month.
Harrison has had some stick from some Leeds fans both earlier in the season and last season, but November was a great month for the Manchester City man, and if he can take that form into the rest of the season, then Leeds should be on track for promotion.
Harrison scored three goals, but his most important was the one that he popped up with at the Madjeski Stadium to seal a 1-0 win.
Leeds were struggling throughout, but there was Harrison in the 87th minute to secure a massive win for the Whites.
Bielsa was tactically brilliant, but Harrison was the standout man for Leeds in November.
