Despite reports of his departure from the club, Daniel Farke sees Max Wober as a potential captain for Leeds United.
Max Wober has been identified as a potential captain by Leeds United manager Daniel Farke.
The 24-year-old Austrian has been linked with a move away since the Whites were relegated from the Premier League.
Despite being surrounded by chaos and calamity, the £11 million man was a calm presence and looked every bit a top-flight player.
Relegation to the Championship has triggered a string of high-profile departures with potentially the biggest, Messrs Harrison, Meslier and Adams, yet to come.
However, fans were given a glimpse into the potential of Daniel Farke's Leeds and the potential importance of Max Wober in a behind-closed-doors friendly win over the weekend.
Leeds United battered a strong Barnsley side 9-1 in a friendly on Saturday afternoon.
According to the sneaky few in attendance, Mateo Joseph (4), Crysencio Summerville (2), Joe Gelhardt, Georginio Rutter and Max Wober all scored.
While Leeds fans will be happy to see the young guns making healthy progress under Farke, the most pleasing nugget of information was a visual one.
One sneaky Twitter user managed to snap a few photos of the match and appears to have captained Max Wober wearing the captain's armband.
Fans are often guilty of drawing a conclusion from crumbs of information but this latest development seems cut and dry.
Max Wober is central to Daniel Farke's plans and could stick around to captain Leeds in the Championship.
