Man United v Leeds United preview as James Trafford and Noah Okafor could feature | OneFootball

Leeds United face bitter rivals Manchester United at Croke Park in Dublin tonight in their penultimate pre-season friendly. Kick-off is 7.30pm, with coverage on ITV1, ITVX, STV, STV Player, Premier Sports 2, LUTV and MUTV.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, there will be full build-up, team announcements, in-game updates and post-match reaction.

New goalkeeper James Trafford could make his Leeds debut after a club-record £40m move from Manchester City. He signed on Thursday evening and was due to train with his new team-mates for the first time on Tuesday.

Noah Okafor could also feature for the first time this summer after an extended break following Switzerland’s run to the World Cup quarter-finals.

Left-back Gabi Gudmundsson is out with a muscular injury sustained against Liverpool in America, and is possibly set to miss the first two games of the new Premier League season.

Midfielder Ilia Gruev has yet to feature this summer despite returning to training after a meniscus knee injury.

Question marks remain over goalkeeper Lucas Perri and centre-back Sebastiaan Bornauw, who both look set to leave. Bornauw shone in Saturday’s friendly against RB Leipzig at Elland Road but is set to join Hamburg on loan with an option to buy. Following the arrival of new number one Trafford, Perri is poised to join Torino on an initial loan.

Predicted Leeds line-up: Trafford in goal, Bogle, Rodon, Bijol, Muharemovic and Justin, Ampadu and Longstaff, then Wilson, Aaronson and Calvert-Lewin.
