Dons left-back MacKenzie has qualities reminiscent of Scotland international Kieran Tierney, says interim boss Leven.
.Leven believes the 24-year-old has a “great future in the game” and claims he has similar qualities to Scotland’s Tierney.
And he revealed that he and MacKenzie have been studying footage of fullbacks like Tierney in order to reach the next leve
Leven reckons, as a result, MacKenzie has tapped into his “pace and power” to transform from a defensive to attacking full-back this season.
MacKenzie recently scooped young player of the year at the club’s annual awards ceremony.
Leven has been working with MacKenzie in one-to-one sessions where he has urged the defender to have the confidence to go on the attack.
