PEP’S TALK LIFTS LEEDS

PEP CLOTET has tipped Leeds to go one better this season and break back into the Premier League.

The Spaniard helped steer United to within one place of the play-offs as manager Garry Monk’s assistant in May.

But with Thomas Christiansen now in charge at Elland Road and Clotet boss at Oxford, he said: “They’ve had funds to invest in the squad and have all the foundations to push for promotion.”
