Leeds XI vs Man United confirmed, James Trafford starts amid six changes | OneFootball

Leeds United have named their XI to face Manchester United at a sold-out 82,000-capacity Croke Park, with James Trafford handed his first start. According to Leedsunited.news, the club-record signing from Man City goes straight in after missing Saturday’s win over Leipzig.

He was seen arriving in Dublin earlier alongside Noah Okafor.

Farke makes six changes. Sebastiaan Bornauw, set to complete a move to Hamburg this week, starts. Jaka Bijol replaces Joe Rodon in the middle of defence.

Gabi Gudmundsson is expected to miss the start of the Premier League season, and Rhys Chadwick gets his first start of the summer. Ao Tanaka and Sean Longstaff start in midfield in what looks like a 3-5-2.

Dan James, Brenden Aaronson and Lukas Nmecha all start in attack. Trafford, Bijol, Chadwick, Tanaka, Aaronson and Nmecha come in for Cairns, Rodon, Ampadu, Calvert-Lewin, Justin and Wilson.

Leeds will be hoping to continue that form tonight in Ireland, with Carrick in charge. Last season they took four points off Man United, drawing 1-1 at Elland Road when Aaronson scored first before a quick equaliser, then winning 2-1 at Old Trafford after Okafor’s brace put them 2-0 up.
