Ole Gunnar Solskajer’s Manchester United side will be hoping to start to the new season off to a good note when they play hosts to arch-rivals Leeds United on Saturday.
The Red Devils are up against a Leeds United outfit that had impressed in their promotional campaign in the top-flight division last time around and will be hoping to carry on that run of form at Old Trafford.
Let us now have a look at how Solskjaer might set up his Manchester United side against Leeds United –
4-2-3-1
David de Gea is backed to man the goalposts for the hosts despite the Spanish shot-stopper playing second fiddle to Dean Henderson towards the backend of the last season.
With United still pushing to wrap up the signing of Raphael Varane this week, the Lindelof-Maguire pairing will be taking the field on Saturday in the heart of the four-man backline.
Marcus Rashford and new signing Jadon Sancho are not likely to feature for Solskjaer with the English duo staging a late return to the first-team fold after their Euros commitments earlier this summer.
The veteran forward Edinson Cavani has not yet made the return to team training which opens the door for Mason Greenwood to be drafted in the central striking role for United.
