Manchester United's season tailed off with just one win in the last four Premier League matches, although it didn't prevent Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's side finishing runners-up.

In preparation for the new season, United have won two of their four friendlies against Derby and Everton. They have also drawn with Brentford and lost to QPR.

Man United Injuries & Team News

New signings Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane are not expected to start, but could make their debuts from the bench.

Dean Henderson, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford, Phil Jones and Alex Telles are all unavailable due to illness and injury. Eric Bailly and Amad Diallo have only just return from the Tokyo Olympics.

Leeds' impressive first season back in the Premier League concluded with four straight wins over Tottenham, Burnley, Southampton and West Brom to finish ninth.

Marcelo Bielsa's side have had a disappointing pre-season build-up, losing to Fleetwood, Real Betis and Ajax twice in the same day. They defeated Guiseley and drew with Blackburn and Villarreal last weekend.
