Manchester United visits Yorkshire today in search of crucial points in their pursuit of a top-four finish.
Currently, Ruben Amorim’s team is in sixth place after an unsatisfactory draw with Wolves at home. Despite having several players injured, United has generally performed well at Elland Road. Amorim is looking for his available players to strengthen the defense. A win today would bring them closer to the Champions League spots.
Manchester United Team News
Ruben Amorim is dealing with a depleted squad due to numerous injuries. Captain Bruno Fernandes is unavailable with a hamstring injury from the game against Aston Villa. Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount are also out with calf and muscle issues, while Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt haven’t returned in time. Additionally, three key players are away for the Africa Cup of Nations: Amad, Bryan Mbeumo, and Noussair Mazraoui.
As a result, Amorim may depend on his recent signings to fill these gaps. Ayden Heaven is likely to start his sixth consecutive match in defense. In midfield, Manuel Ugarte and Casemiro are expected to continue working together. Up front, Joshua Zirkzee and Matheus Cunha will likely support Benjamin Sesko. United has allowed at least one goal in their last 14 away matches, making Senne Lammens’s performance in goal critical against Leeds’ strong attackers.
Manchester United Predicted Lineup
Expected Manchester United XI: Lammens; Dalot, Heaven, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Ugarte; Dorgu, Zirkzee, Cunha; Sesko
