Kalvin Phillips on how Leeds United built on Garry Monk's foundations ahead of Sheffield Wednesday clash
KALVIN PHILLIPS says Leeds United will be building on the foundations built by former boss Garry Monk in a bid to defeat his Sheffield Wednesday side in today’s Championship Yorkshire derby at Elland Road.
Monk steered the Whites to their highest finish in six years as United ended the 2016-17 season in seventh before departing to later take over at Middlesbrough.
Two-and-a-half years on, Monk now brings his eighth-placed Sheffield Wednesday side to Elland Road but Phillips has not forgotten the influence his former manager had in developing United and, also, the midfielder’s own game.
