Lukas Nmecha hails Leeds support in USA after Sunderland win | OneFootball

Lukas Nmecha hailed Leeds United’s travelling support in the USA after scoring the early winner against Sunderland in New Jersey.

Handed his first start of the summer, the striker struck the only goal after eight minutes at the Sports Illustrated Stadium as Daniel Farke’s side beat the Black Cats.

"Definitely." "I'm loving hearing the American accent from Leeds fans at the minute. It's quite strange. It's a strange thing." "But the fans have been great. They were loud today, it felt like there were only Leeds fans here to be honest so it was quite nice." He told LUTV.

The fixture was United’s second of three friendlies on their pre-season tour of America, six days after the 3-2 defeat to Wrexham at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

Even in the States, Leeds were backed in numbers, the noise in New Jersey drawing praise from the 27-year-old.
