Latest update regarding Manchester United’s upcoming opponents Leeds United

United’s upcoming opponents Leeds are back in the Premier League after two years in the Championship. They were relegated in 2023 and lost in the play-off final last year to Southampton at Wembley. Nevertheless, they bounced back by winning the title under the guidance of Daniel Farke last term.

After sealing their return to the top flight, Farke said: "How the lads have handled the last few weeks during this crunch time period when there's lots of pressure on them, the way we have performed in the last few weeks, the spirit and quality of the performances and the consistency of the results, especially with the clean sheets, has been second to none. It's really amazing and all the credit goes to the boys for the way they have handled this situation, not just the quality of the performance, but the mentality and spirit has been unbelievable. It's a priceless three points today."

He added: "I work for a pretty emotional club, probably one of the most emotional clubs in this country. It's never easy because you don't just have to lead the players, you have to lead the whole group of people who work for this club. Sometimes even the press and the journalists, all our supporters.

"It costs lots of energy but we've done it in the end. I'm proud of the lads. It's a very heavy shirt to wear and we have delivered a great style. It's also fully deserved to be back in the Premier League where we belong. Step by step after relegation was a tough job because you have to steady the ship, you have to deal with all the hangover and all the ongoings and outgoings, the discussions. We played a really good season with 90 points and then obviously a heart-breaking final at Wembley.”

Leeds have delved into the market since sealing their promotion to land the likes of Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Gabriel Gudmundsson. Former United winger Dan James has been on the books at Elland Road since 2021. Meanwhile, they have a couple of ex-Manchesteer City players in their squad in the form of Lukas Nmecha and Jack Harrison.
