Pablo Hernandez has called Mateusz Klich a Leeds United 'legend' after he bid farewell to the club ahead of his move to DC United.

Leeds spent many, many dark days in the lower leagues of English football. It has been a rollercoaster of a journey for the player, as another Leeds legend, Pablo Hernandez, who was part of it all, sent the following message to his former teammate via his IG story.

Mateusz Klich rejected the chance to return to the Netherlands as the 32-year-old midfielder played his last game for Leeds United, according to Meczyki.

Klich will go down as a modern-day legend for Leeds after playing a huge part in the club’s promotion back to the Premier League under Marcelo Bielsa. He’s at an age where he will want to be playing regular first-team football and sadly, Jesse Marsch hasn’t been able to offer him that. However, he is now closing in on a move to the MLS side with

Neil Redfearn believes Mateusz Klich deserved the lovely goodbye he received from the Leeds United players and coaching staff.

“He can be proud of his time at Leeds and he has been a good servant to the club.” “He is a character and he plays with his heart on his sleeve and it is what endears him to his team-mates and the Leeds supporters. [said on BBC Radio Leeds](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0dp2w4z): “That’s a lovely touch to be fair and he has earned it.

Yorkshire Evening Post reporter Joe Donnohue has posted a picture on Twitter of Victor Orta bowing to Mateusz Klich on the Elland Road pitch after Leeds ...

Leeds can bring in a midfielder and might feel they already have done, in Darko Gyabi. Orta now has that job, having to replace Klich in our midfield. He is set to join Wayne Rooney’s DC United – where he will team up with Christian Benteke and Ravel Morrison. A player that was a crucial cog in the side that ended our 16-year wait for Premier League football. A player that has since been an ever-present in the Premier League since returning in 2020. Klich, 32, was confirmed as leaving the club on a free transfer to join MLS side DC United on Wednesday evening.

Klich bade Leeds an emotional farewell after stepping off the bench in Wednesday night's 2-2 home draw with fellow Premier League strugglers West Ham.

“It’s his hip that is causing him some issues. “There are a lot of things that have happened in the last two-and-a-half years that probably give them the confidence to think they’ve got a manager they can trust and they can work with.” “I’ve been speaking to him regularly and he has been fantastic in his support and his backing. He said: “I wish I could stay, but I’ve never enjoyed being on the bench and I want to play as much as I can in the coming years and that is why I’m closing this chapter, but I will never forget my time in Yorkshire.” Klich revealed in a statement on Twitter late on Wednesday night that he had been reluctant to leave and that his four-and-a-half-year spell at Elland Road had “been a dream”. “And I even said to the team, we have to find a way to find our inner Klichy in all of us to make sure that we’re ready to perform in every match.”

Liam Cooper - "Made history together but a proper fella more than anything. Klich also penned an open letter to Leeds supporters which partly states: "The supporters of this club are unlike anyone else, which is perfect for me. The termination of Klich's contract was confirmed post-match ahead of an impending move to MLS outfit DC United. He also paid an emotional goodbye to supporters, appearing to be in tears before departing the hallowed turf one, final, time.

Leeds United are one of a host of Premier League clubs taking an interest in signing Bristol City starlet Alex Scott this month. The Whites bid farewell to…

Scott might not be the exact same sort of player, but he definitely would go some distance to replacing Klich in the long run, already doing the business in the Championship at a tender age. We can’t go into the rest of the season not having that sort of impact available to us in the second half. The fact that he has been the first sub for most of our games this season shows that he is the man we look to in order to change things in our favour.
