Since signing on loan from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur last summer, Manor Solomon has made little impact at Leeds United, which has seen calls for his loan to be cancelled.
The left winger hasn’t scored in two seasons (transfer market) and so far has not given the best for all whites.
A hamstring injury could be partly to blame, but when Daniel Farke has given him the chance to impress, he has failed to do so.

His performances have even seen pundits suggesting he should be sent back to Spurs.
“You ask Solomon if he’s going to be able to get that time, and then you ask do you keep him? Or do you send him back?” Jonny Buchan told the BBC podcast Don’t Go To Bed Just Yet.
“So use this place, I’m not saying they’re at their borrowing limit, they’re not, but use that jar that you’ve used for money to get somebody else who can maybe have a bigger? impact?”
With so many games to play in the Championship, there is an argument that Solomon will still be needed to round out Farke’s squad when needed.
With more than half of the season still to play, no one knows how injuries could affect the All Whites, especially towards the business end.
Solomon has the talent to make a difference, and that Premier League experience could be vital at some point.
Farke doesn’t appear to be the type of manager to have a knee-jerk reaction to certain situations, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he kept faith with Solomon until the January transfer window closes.
