Former Premier League player Paul Robinson has claimed Leeds United manager Victor Orta could leave the club in the near future.
The Leeds manager has played a key role in Leeds’ transfers and manager appointments since he joined the club in 2017, but Robinson believes his influence has waned in recent months.
Robinson claims that manager Jesse Marsch has had a bigger influence on the transfers and Orta could have seen his powers reduced. He added that the Leeds manager might not be interested in working in the current circumstances and that he could leave if he is offered an offer.
“It would seem their share is dwindling,” Robinson told MOT Leeds News.
“You don’t see what’s going on behind the scenes. But the manager seems to have had an influx of players he wants, so it seems Victor’s wings have been clipped a bit.
“Whether that is true or not, we don’t know. But we see and hear less of him and I suspect if that’s the case, it’s not an environment he would want to work in.
“If an opportunity were to arise, which there will be because he has had a good record at Leeds, I’m sure there will be a number of teams that would take him on.
“As far as Leeds is concerned, it will be interesting to see what they do in the next window with the players coming in and where they come from.
“If you look at the summer, you can’t really say that Victor’s fingerprints were on a lot of the signings.”
Orta has done well at Leeds since joining the club and there is bound to be interest in him from top clubs.
Leeds hope to keep him for as long as possible, given the work he has put in at the Premier League club so far. It will be interesting to see how the situation evolves.
