Manchester United is set to face Leeds United in a friendly match as part of their preparations for the upcoming 2026-2027 Premier League season. The match will take place at 1:30 am on August 13, Vietnam time, and promises to be an exciting encounter between the two historic rivals.

Leeds United began their pre-season with a narrow 2-3 defeat against Wrexham but quickly bounced back with three consecutive victories over Sunderland (1-0), Liverpool (4-2), and RB Leipzig (2-0). Under the guidance of coach Daniel Farke, Leeds aims to improve on their 14th place finish from last season, with new signings including Harry Wilson, Tarik Muharemovic, and James Trafford bolstering their squad. The team is looking to build on their previous success against Manchester United, having defeated them 2-1 at Old Trafford last season.

On the other hand, Manchester United, managed by Michael Carrick, is also actively preparing for the new season. After a disappointing start to their pre-season with a 0-1 loss to Wrexham, they secured impressive wins against Rosenborg (5-0) and Atletico Madrid (2-1), followed by a draw against Paris Saint-Germain (1-1). United finished last season in third place in the Premier League and is aiming for a strong title challenge this year, having already made significant signings including Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, and Karl Darlow.

As both teams finalize their lineups, Leeds is expected to field Dominic Calvert-Lewin in attack, while Manchester United will be without Manuel Ugarte due to injury. The match is crucial for both teams as they look to fine-tune their tactics and player combinations ahead of the competitive season.
