Manchester United great Paul Scholes says Leeds United need Patrick Bamford fit to stay up.

Speaking to Premier League Productions, Scholes was worried for manager Jesse Marsch's squad but highlighted the importance of Bamford if they want to have a good season.

“The atmosphere is brilliant at Leeds. Once you get them fans going, it's a really tough place to go. Has he got the team this year to survive? I don't know.

"On the evidence against Aston Villa, they didn't look great, they didn't look like they had much of a threat up front.

“Obviously, getting Bamford fit will be a big bonus for them. But the lad just can't seem to stay fit for long.

“If he stays fit, then they have a chance because he scores goals, but they were lucky against Aston Villa and it was only Villa's bad finishing that got them the point."
