Man Utd v Leeds team news
Alex Telles, Dean Henderson, Marcus Rashford and Edinson Cavani are sure to miss this one.
Jadon Sancho has trained this week and should be involved from the bench at the very least.
Raphael Varane has less training time and it would be a surprise if he started here.
Then of course plenty of players haven’t had much football and it remains to be seen whether Solskjaer goes with more players who have had fuller pre-seasons.
Leeds are without defender Diego Llorente, who is out injured.
Our prediction
This will be a real test of United’s fitness. It hasn’t been an ideal pre-season and Leeds are the fittest team in the division.
They will run and run, and if any of United’s players aren’t up to speed, it will quickly show.
That said, United know the importance of a winning start; they cannot afford to lose ground in the title race already.
With a packed Old Trafford roaring them on, we’ve got to back United to get the job done.
