Sam Greenwood was sent on loan to Preston after he did not manage to impress Ange Postecoglou during the pre-season. He had spent the previous season on loan at Middlesborough, where he failed to make a significant impact, recording five goals and three assists in 38 games across all competitions. However, he has made a promising start to his loan spell at Preston this season, scoring five goals and providing one assist in 15 games so far. Jermaine Beckford expressed his belief that Leeds United's Sam Greenwood is not suited to play for Daniel Farke, explaining that despite Greenwood's impressive numbers for the U21s, he does not fit into the Leeds setup.
