Manchester United v Leeds LIVE: Tielemans set to start as Carrick’s men take on old rivals in Dublin

Leeds United and Manchester United continue their preparations for the new Premier League season as old foes renew their rivalry at Croke Park in Dublin.

This will be another chapter in a storied history between the pair as they collide at the home of Irish sport just 10 days before the start of their league campaigns. Michael Carrick’s side impressed in a 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain at the weekend as Youri Tielemans made his bow for the club, though injury worries over Mason Mount may underline the need for more midfield reinforcements.

Leeds have had a relatively eye-catching summer with James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic and Harry Wilson all high-profile additions. Wins over Liverpool and RB Leipzig have shown encouraging signs and Daniel Farke will be keen to keep the momentum rolling ahead of their Premier League opener against Nottingham Forest next Saturday.
