Thank you Manor & Joe | OneFootball

Leeds United would like to thank Manor Solomon and Joe Rothwell, who have today returned to their parent clubs following the conclusion of their season-long loans.

The duo will be forever remembered for their influential involvement in helping the Whites return to the Premier League as champions of the second tier.

Solomon joined the club from Tottenham Hotspur and made his debut for Daniel Farke’s side in a 2-0 victory over Hull City at Elland Road in August.

First goals for United came in a thrilling 4-3 triumph away at Swansea City, in which the versatile attacker scored twice in South Wales.

Manor would go on to play a crucial role in the run in especially, ending the season with 10 goals and 12 assists to his name in the Sky Bet Championship.

The 25-year-old will be forever etched into Whites’ folklore, having scored the dramatic winner in the dying seconds at Plymouth Argyle to secure the league title for the Whites.

Rothwell arrived on loan from AFC Bournemouth with vast amounts of experience and made a lasting impression, featuring in 39 matches across all competitions.

Following a flurry of substitute appearances, Joe came to the fore after injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev, and he would form a formidable partnership with Ao Tanaka in the heart of midfield from October onwards.

The 30-year-old shone with his consistency, creativity and work rate, putting in outstanding performances match after match.

Those displays memorably included assisting two late Pascal Struijk goals as Leeds fought from a goal behind to beat Sunderland in the final moments, in a memorable night under the lights in West Yorkshire.

Both Manor and Joe return to their parent clubs as champions and we wish them all the best for the future, safe in the knowledge that they will always be remembered fondly at Elland Road.
