Manchester United face Leeds United at Croke Park in Dublin this evening. Michael Carrick’s side have had a positive pre-season so far after being defeated 1-0 by Wrexham, beating Rosenborg 5-0, beating Atlético de Madrid 2-1 and drawing 1-1 to Paris Saint-Germain. Now Premier League opposition for United.
United and Leeds are fierce rivals, not that Leeds stand in the way of United winning any trophies as Leeds don’t have much chance of winning anything to be blatantly honest. But the history between the two clubs is massive and both sets of fans hate each other for good reasons. Leeds are a terrible club.
