Leeds boss Jesse Marsch is convinced he can help Raphinha rediscover his best form.

The talented Brazilian has scored only once in 11 games coinciding with United's slide towards relegation trouble and the sacking of Marcelo Bielsa.

American Marsch needs a result against fellow strugglers Norwich on Sunday having lost his first two games in charge but has a track record of helping attacking players.

"Raphinha is clearly a special player," acknowledged Marsch. "I like his talent and I have had a lot of success working with young talented attacking players.

"I'll keep working with him to help him understand how he can fit into what we're doing. The team is always the most important, but with every individual you have to get to know what makes them tick, how they respond to good and bad things, and get to the core of it.

"I have had some good interaction and conversations with them. His role has changed a bit in terms of tactically what I want him to do on the pitch, but he's responded really well.

"He's another guy who wants it so bad. He tries everything he can but what happens with all of them is it becomes individual instead of it being the collective and how it all fits together."
