Excitingly, though, Lisandro Martinez has returned to Carrington as he steps up his return from a foot injury sustained last April. Ten Hag previously spoke of his hope that Licha would available for these matches.
Leeds have also confirmed numerous exits, including that of interim manager Sam Allardyce who came on board with the hopes of steering them away from relegation. Midfielder Weston McKennie is also expected to return to his parent club of Juventus, having spent a short spell on loan to the Yorkshire club. Daniel Farke has taken over as boss while Robin Koch, Diego Llorente and Brenden Aaronson have all left.

HEAD-TO-HEAD HISTORY
The Reds have faced Leeds on 115 different occasions, with United holding the upper hand with 51 wins to Leeds’ 27; contesting 37 draws.
We’re unbeaten against the Whites in our last six meetings, all of which came in the Premier League since Leeds were promoted back to the top-flight. Last term, we beat them on their home turf 2-0, just days after coming from two down to draw 2-2 at Old Trafford.
Our games rarely lack goals over recent years, meaning this will no doubt be another exciting clash, even if it is just considered a friendly.
