Manchester United and Leeds United will bring football to Dublin’s iconic Croke Park for the first time since 2009 as the arch-rivals square off in a match that is friendly in name only.
United have enjoyed a promising pre-season since their opening slip-up against Wrexham in July, beating Atletico Madrid before holding European champions Paris Saint-Germain to a draw last weekend.
Leeds have also impressed in the build-up to the new Premier League campaign and most notably stunned Liverpool during their tour of the United States, coming from two goals down to win 4-2 in Chicago.
Daniel Farke’s will hope to repeat their heroics of four months ago, which saw Leeds win their first league game at Old Trafford since 1981, getting another one over on their cross-Pennines rivals at a venue fitting of their rivalry.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is Manchester United vs Leeds?
Manchester United’s clash with Leeds kicks off at 7:30pm BST on Wednesday 12 August at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland.
How can I watch it?
The match will be shown free-to-air on ITV1, while also being available to subscribers on MUTV. Fans can stream the match on ITVX.
Team news
Marcus Rashford is back with the Man United squad as Michael Carrick looks to reintegrate the winger back into the fold. Kobbie Mainoo may also play his first minutes of pre-season, while Benjamin Sesko is available after missing the entirety of pre-season so far with injury. Senne Lammens and Matheus Cunha both missed the PSG game through illness and are also back in contention to feature, but Mason Mount will not feature after picking up a knock in that match.
James Trafford is set to make his Leeds debut after missing their win over Leipzig, a match which saw Wilfred Gnonto star off the bench. The Italian could be rewarded with a start as a result.
Predicted line-ups
Man United XI: Lammens; Dalot, Heaven, Maguire, Shaw; Santos, Tielemans, Fernandes; Amad, Mbeumo, Dorgu.
Leeds XI: Trafford; Muharemovic, Rodon, Bijol; Bogle, Longstaff, Ampadu, Justin; Wilson, Calvert-Lewin, Gnonto.
