Manchester United vs Leeds: Premier League prediction, kickoff time, TV, live stream, team news, lineups, h2h results
Manchester United kick off their latest Premier League campaign by hosting fierce rivals Leeds at Old Trafford this afternoon.
United finished runners-up to champions Manchester City following a gruelling 2020/21 campaign, and have since signed Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane to add more star quality to try and bridge the gap to their noisy neighbours.
The pressure will be on Solskjaer and United to make a strong start and mount a serious title challenge - and up first are Leeds, who were one of the standout performers last season.
Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds finished ninth as they offered fans and neutrals alike a thrilling, and at times chaotic, brand of high-tempo football.
United thrashed Leeds 6-2 in a brilliantly open Old Trafford clash last December, and if this 2021/22 season opener is half as good as that game was, we could be in for a treat on the first weekend of the new campaign.

Man Utd vs Leeds prediction
The first goal between the two sides last season saw eight goals scored, with United running out 6-2 winners - but that was followed up by a goalless draw at Elland Road, so predicting this one is something of a fools’ errand.
While United are not up to full strength yet, an impressive 4-0 pre-season rout of Everton last weekend saw Bruno Fernandes on form, and the Red Devils will fancy their chances of a win.
