Manchester United fans couldn’t help but poke fun at Leeds after Marcelo Bielsa’s departure was confirmed.
News of the Argentine’s departure began to emerge on Saturday night following Leeds’ 4-0 defeat at the hands of Tottenham, with the club confirming the decision to part ways on Sunday.

"This has been the toughest decision I have had to make during my tenure at Leeds United, taking into account all the success Marcelo has had at the club," Leeds chairman Andrea Radrizzani said in a statement.

"However, I have to act in the best interest of the club and I believe a change is required now in order to secure our Premier League status. Recent results and performances have not met our expectations.
"We find ourselves in a precarious league position and I feel now is the right time to bring in a new head coach, in order to have an impact in the decisive stage of the season."
