Leeds United team news

Unfortunately for Leeds United fans, it doesn’t look like Diego Llorente will be able to go for this one. He suffered a knee injury during the preseason and walked gingerly off the pitch. While there was some hope he’d be able to play in the EPL season-opener, manager Marcelo Bielsa made it sound like Llorente is doubtful to suit up on Saturday.

Manchester United team news

With the home team, Man U was dealt the rough news that Marcus Rashford has undergone shoulder surgery and he won’t be able to play until at least early October. The shoulder issue bothered Rashford throughout last season, which is why he decided to get things done now and be ready for the heart of the campaign.

Manchester United vs Leeds United prediction

It goes without saying, but Man U simply has to get a win here if they want to set the tone for a run at the title. Man U fans are sick of watching Manchester City claim all the glory around town. While Leeds United will provide quite the challenge, we think that the home team will be able to earn a victory and do so in an impressive fashion.

Prediction: Manchester United 2-0 Leeds United
