Daniel Farke's Whites are heading back to the country's top flight as Championship champions having beaten runners-up Burnley to the title on goal difference as both clubs amassed 100 points.

Despite their impressive points hauls, Deane admits that Leeds, Burnley and whoever goes up from the play-offs will be seen as favourites to go back down following this season's relegation of promoted trio Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton.

The ex-Leeds striker also believes that United "adapting" their football against higher-level opposition and better players is a must.
