Leeds United have one final Premier League game before the upcoming international break. This gave the chance for journalists to ask Daniel Farke about his future.
The Leeds boss has lead his side to an unbeaten start to the Premier League season.
And what makes their run even impressive is the teams they have faced. Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, Brighton and Brentford is a tough fixture list for any side in the league.
But the Whites have picked up two wins and two draws.
Up next is a game against Crystal Palace at Elland Road, where Leeds’ last game saw them thrash the Magpies 4-1.

Leeds United will be without summer signing Harry Wilson, who was injured this week. The midfielder will be out for the international break and unavailable for Wales’ games.
Daniel Farke confirmed this in Friday’s press conference.
He also addressed a question about his future at Elland Road. The Leeds boss has not given a straight answer despite his contract being discussed in the last few weeks.
On Friday he mentioned that the situation remains the same.
”No news. Spoke at the end of last season about the situation. Robbie spoke last week. Don’t want to make a weekly soap out of it. No one wants a manager talking only about his future. All focus on the team and Palace.”
Leeds managing director Robbie Evans mentioned that talks are ongoing, while other reports indicate that an announcement could be made in the next few weeks.

49ers know what they are doing
Since the end of last season, it has been clear that Daniel Farke and the Leeds ownership are on the same page.
Farke has done a great job with the club since they were promoted last year. Not many coaches can do the job the German has done since taking charge of them in the Championship.
Finishing in 14th place is a great achievement for a club like Leeds.
And in the summer, Farke made it clear that the team will have to match his ambition if they want him to stay long term. The 49ers backed him in the transfer market too.
So unless something miraculous happens, Daniel Farke will be Leeds boss for the long-term future as both parties want to continue working together.
