Manchester United begin their pre-season schedule with a clash against old rivals Leeds United today at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm, Sweden.
After ending last season with one of the worst finishes in club history, fans are eager to see if this new chapter under Ruben Amorim will bring real change.
The Red Devils slumped to 15th place in the Premier League last term and finished the season without a single trophy. It was a campaign filled with poor results, dressing room issues, and inconsistent performances.
To improve the team, United have been active in the transfer market, with the addition of new faces like Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon who recently joined the squad. Reports from Fabrizio Romano also says Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo is set to undergo his medical to complete his move to the club.
Today’s game will be more than just a friendly. Leeds United are back in the Premier League after a two-year absence, topping the Championship table last season with 100 points.
Though they finished level with Burnley on points, their superior goal difference saw them take the top spot.
Under manager Daniel Farke, Leeds have been preparing for their return to top-flight football by adding names like Gabriel Gudmundsson, Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Lukas Nmecha. After the Manchester United clash, Leeds will go on to face Villarreal and AC Milan in their pre-season run.
This fixture could offer a glimpse into what’s ahead for both sides. Leeds will be hoping to show they’re ready for the Premier League again. United, on the other hand, must prove that last season was a one-off disaster.
