Marcelo Bielsa reveals what he said to Jamie Shackleton during Leeds vs Derby

Marcelo Bielsa made it clear at the time of his unveiling as the Leeds United manager that he will not fear promoting youngster into the side if they are good enough.

It took just two matches for the Argentine to hand debut to the highly rated young talent, Jamie Shackleton, who played in Leeds’s 4-1 win against Derby on Saturday.

The youngster, who can operate as a midfielder or as a wing-back, made his competitive debut for Leeds and came on as a substitute in the 73rd minute.

He said on social networking site Twitter that it was a ‘dream come true’ for him.
