One thing that Marcelo Bielsa has done since arriving in England and to Leeds United is made those players not likely to be used aware of their situation – allowing them to find new clubs.
With Marcelo Bielsa Leeds United get more than just a manager, they get a man with a very defined vision and ethos. He knows what he wants to get from his players and is very meticulous about going out to get it.
Since his arrival Leeds United fans have thus seen a number of ‘fringe’ players depart the club already and one of these is Swedish forward Marcus Antonsson. Antonsson arrived from Allsvenskan side Kalmar FF two years ago.
It is fair to say that his time at Elland Road has been a lamentable one – making just 16 Championship appearances for the Whites and scoring just the once against Sheffield Wednesday. He was loaned out to Blackburn Rovers last season, hitting seven in 31 appearances in League One.
However, his time at Elland Road was obviously at an end, and an agreement was made with Swedish side Malmö for him to return to his homeland.

However, the deal has hit a hitch and is currently not able to be completed with Malmö communicating this as follows:
En detalj återstår i pappersexercisen innan vi kan kommunicera nyheten. Vi ber att få återkomma.

What the above says is that there is a “detail” that “remains in the paperwork” that needs obviously rectifying before Malmö can “communicate the news.”
When that news is communicated to the fans, Antonsson will join up with former Leeds United manager Uwe Rosler and will hope to recapture the form that brought him to Elland Road as the leading scorer in the Allsvenskan competition upon his departure.
