It has not been the best season for Leeds United, but Wilfried Gnonto ha💫s done well and has become an Elland Road🍎 fan favourite.

He has been talking about this season, as per the , and h♌e emphasised how his toughest opponent was Aston Villa star Ashley Young.

Leeds have been battling relegation all𓆏 season and currently it looks likely that they will go down.

Gnon🗹to is a very young and very exciting future prospect who has somewhat fallen out of favour over recent weeks.

Meanwhile, Aston Villa’s season has been fantastic since Unai Emery became manager. They were 15th when he took over and now they are ba🎀ttling in the top eight.

A hu൩ge reason for this has been due to the way he has coached his🐲 squad. He is most definitely getting the most out of his players like veteran Ashley Young.
