  "account": "Manchester United and Leeds United will clash in Dublin's Croke Park for the first time since 2009, a friendly match that promises to be a true test of skill. United have had a strong pre-season, beating Atletico Madrid and holding PSG to a draw, while Leeds have also impressed, notably defeating Liverpool 4-2 during their US tour. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30pm BST on Wednesday, August 12th at Croke Park. It will be broadcast on ITV1 and available on MUTV and ITVX. Marcus Rashford returns to United, while Kobbie Mainoo and Benjamin Sesko are back from injury, and Senne Lammens and Matheus Cunha are available after missing games with illness. However, Mason Mount will not feature after suffering an injury. Leeds will make their debuts with James Trafford and Wilfred Gnonto, the latter playing off the bench against Leipzig. The predicted line-ups for United include Lammens, Dalot, Heaven, Maguire, Shaw, Santos, Tielemans, Fernandes, Amad, and Dorgu. Leeds will field Trafford, Muharemovic, Bijol, Bogle, Longstaff, Ampadu, Justin, Wilson, Calvert-Lewin, and Gnonto.",
