Manchester United vs Leeds United: Team news and predicted line-up

Manchester United is set to welcome Leeds United in a pre-season friendly match at Dublin’s Croke Park Stadium, kicking off the new season. The Red Devils have been on a winning streak, having defeated Wrexham, Rosenborg, and Atletico Madrid. However, their winning run was interrupted by a 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain. With a flurry of transfers approaching, Manchester United will face Leeds United and AC Milan in their final two friendlies.

Every healthy player has returned to the squad after a World Cup break for some members. Lisandro Martinez joined the team after Argentina reached the World Cup final, while Manuel Ugarte remains sidelined with a serious knee injury. Matthijs de Ligt is in recovery but should be fit for the Premier League opener.

New signings Andrey Santos, Karl Darlow, and Youri Tielemans have been working closely with the team during pre-season. All three are in contention to start against Leeds United. Tielemans is likely to replace Kobbie Mainoo, who is doubtful due to a minor knock. Mason Mount's involvement remains uncertain after he was withdrawn due to a minor injury during the previous match. Senne Lammens, who missed the last game due to illness, should start.

Ruben Amorin, Leeds United's skipper, has a strong squad to face Manchester United. Trafford, Muharemovic, Rodon, Bornauw, and Justin form the defensive line, while Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka provide solidity in midfield. Justin and Calvert-Lewin are expected to spearhead the attack, along with Wilson.
