At the international level, Brenden Aaronson is now working under a better coach than Daniel Farke at Leeds United.
The Leeds legend should be overjoyed to be hired by Mauricio Pochettino as the USMNT coach, considering his career has had some difficult moments.
But now that he’s back at Elland Road this summer and is attempting to show himself to his fans, Aaronson may truly take off with his career.
When Leeds was in the Premier League in 2022, the 23-year-old was signed. However, the squad fell back into the Championship, and Aaronson was loaned to Union Berlin in the Bundesliga.
Aaronson was involved in Leeds’ recruitment at the time, which contributed to their relegation, so he now has a lot of people to win over.
Given the significant changes that appear to be taking place on the other side of the water, maybe the time he spends with Pochettino and the US men’s national team will be beneficial.
Prior to Pochettino, Gregg Berhalter was in charge of the dugout, and it’s safe to say that he wasn’t the most well-liked figure in the American “soccer” community.
Tim Ream, a former Fulham defender who currently plays in the MLS for Dean Smith’s Charlotte team, has more than ten years of experience for his country.
By informing USMNT Only that he has participated in the “longest training sessions” he has had with the USMNT, he also appeared to be making a veiled jab at the former manager.
Leeds benefits from this since Aaronson is being held to such high standards for the first time in his international career.

“We spent two hours on the field, which is likely the longest training session I’ve had with the USMNT in my fourteen years,” Ream disclosed.
Cheikhou Kouyate departed Nottingham Forest in the summer, which is why there are rumors that Leeds could sign him as a free agent.
After defeating Panama in Pochettino’s first game, the USMNT will play Mexico in a friendly on Wednesday.
Star Christian Pulisic, Leeds flop Weston McKennie, and recent goal scorer Ricardo Pepi are among the senior players the former Chelsea manager has allowed to depart the team due to health and physical concerns.
Given their issues and the fact that Aaronson is being overworked, Leeds supporters have every right to urge that he should be permitted to depart as well.
