THE PREDICTION
Manchester United are unlikely to start either Jadon Sancho or Raphael Varane in this one with both having not having enough, much or any time to train ahead of the opening day. Leeds will also be without their new signing Junior Firpo following a slight knock in pre-season so this encounter is going to look a lot like last season’s teams. A 6-2 win for United at Old Trafford and goalless draw at Elland Road were the results but the former is the more likely pattern of the game given the fast and aggressive starts that Leeds java got off to under Bielsa. A 3-1 win against Stoke, 3-1 win against Bristol City and 4-3 defeat at Liverpool have been their opening days under El Loco and, given that United will be happy to play on the counter-attack, another high-scoring match is in store here.
