Manchester United XI vs Leeds: Cunha debut, predicted lineup, confirmed team news for friendly today | OneFootball

United could give two summer arrivals their first starts

Matheus Cunha is set to make his Manchester United debut when the Red Devils take on Leeds United in their first pre-season friendly.

An agreement has been reached with Brentford to sign Bryan Mbeumo, but he will not join in time to feature.

This game presents a reset for Amorim. The first chance to really instil his values and philosophies onto a fractious squad across a whole pre-season.

Daniel Farke’s Leeds, meanwhile, will be looking to cause an upset in Scandinavia, and they could hand debuts to Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bournauw, Felix Nmecha, and Gabriel Gudmundsson. It remains to be seen whether new signing Sean Longstaff will feature against the side that once courted him.

Manchester United predicted XI: (3-4-2-1) Bayindir; Mazraoui, de Ligt, Yoro; Dalot, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu; Cunha, Amad, Hojlund.

Injured: Onana, Martinez

Confirmed squad: Altay Bayindir, Tom Heaton, Dermot Mee, Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire, Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Ayden Heaven, Diego Leon, Tyler Fredricson, Reece Munro, Godwill Kukonki, Mason Mount, Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, Jack Fletcher, Sekou Kone, Toby Collyer, Rasmus Hojlund, Matheus Cunha, Amad, Chido Obi, Ethan Williams, Bendito Mantato
