James Milner tipped for Leeds return by Darren Bent

Darren Bent told Football Insider that it makes sense for James Milner to return to Leeds United.

He said: “When you’ve got somebody who’s had a decorated career like he has, there’s only one place he can return. He was Leeds’ youngest ever goalscorer, they love him down there.

“He doesn’t need the money, the money’s out of it, he’s won all the trophies – I almost said bar the Champions League but he’s won that, he’s won everything there is to win. It is fitting for him to go back there and play where it all started and finish his career there.

He might become captain, he’s obviously going to do a job at a very, very high level, what a story that would be. I’m sure Bielsa would welcome him with open arms. That experience, he keeps himself in great nick, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did return there.”

Milner has been a fantastic servant for Liverpool and most fans wouldn’t begrudge him the chance to end his career at Leeds but it must be said that his experience, leadership and professionalism are invaluable in the current setup.

The nerve he showed when dispatching a 95th minute penalty against Leicester City summed up how strong he is mentally and while he’s getting older, he isn’t showing signs of being finished at this level.
