Premier League 2025-2026: Manchester United-Leeds, the likely lineups

The thirty-second day of the Premier League concludes at 9 p.m. at Old Trafford with the very important match between Manchester United and Leeds. A challenge that puts heavy points up for grabs for opposite goals: if the Red Devils want to win to secure third place and ensure a return to the Champions League, the Whites are looking for a feat to move away from the relegation zone once and for all, also complicit in the defeat of Tottehham, which is stuck in 18th place with 30 points.

The main doubt in United’s house concerns the athletic condition given that the team has not played an official match for 24 days. Carrick relies on his best players to win the game. In goal space for Lammens, protected by the central pair Yoro-Martinez. In the midfield, the experience of Casemiro and the talent of young Mainoo, while in attack, behind the only goalkeeper Sesko, a trident formed by Mbeumo, Bruno Fernandes and Cunha.

Farke deploys his team with the idea of closing more spaces and trying to strike on the counterattack. The defense will be led by Bijol, flanked by Bornauw and Struijk. The midfield will feature Tanaka and Ampadu. Up front, the weight of the attack will be all on the shoulders of the physical pair consisting of Aaronson and Calvert-Lewin.
