Leeds United: Fans profess their love for Jamie Shackleton after he sits in away end during FA Youth Cup tie
Leeds United fans were professing their love for a first-team player after he was spotted sitting in the away end during their FA Youth Cup tie against Manchester United.
Jamie Shackleton was seen sitting among supporters in a video clip, which also showed the 20-year-old starting off chants (via LUFC Lewis). The support of the player and the Yorkshire faithful proved to be in vain as the Whites lost 1-0 thanks to a 60th-minute goal from the Red Devils.
One fan gave his thoughts on the Englishman.

The midfielder has been in-and-out of the squad this season with various injury problems hampering his progress. He was initially out for a spell after suffering a quad issue in the 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion back in October (via Yorkshire Evening Post). However, upon his return, he suffered a fresh muscular injury and was out until his return to the bench for the game against Sheffield Wednesday.
Fans were left showing their love for the youngster after he was seen in the crowd as they took to Twitter to react. Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
That’s my boy 💙💛👌🏻
