Leeds United fans are still optimistic about the new season even after the draw against Manchester United in Ireland. The Whites lost that game on penalties, but were impressive in regulation time.
Daniel Farke’s side are back at Elland Road this weekend as they face Augsburg.

Saturday afternoon is the final test for the Whites before they kick off their season in a week’s time.
