Leeds’ return to the Premier League comes with a lot of mouth-watering fixtures in the top division, but none whet the appetite more than Manchester United.
For the Red Devils and Leeds, this summer won’t be defined by what happens during pre-season friendlies, but it could go a long way to establishing the mood at the beginning of the new campaign.
Leeds United to face Europa League final losers Manchester United in Stockholm
It was announced back in March that Leeds will travel to Stockholm, Sweden, to play Manchester United in their third preseason match since 2019.
Two teams with a long-standing rivalry will square off in an exciting meeting at the Strawberry Arena, and Leeds will be fired up going into this preseason following their return to the Premier League.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, are eager for the current season to end because, barring a surprise victory over Aston Villa on the last day, they are expected to finish in 16th place. They also lost the Europa League final against Tottenham on Wednesday, which means that Old Trafford will not host European football the following season.
Will Leeds United stay up in the Premier League?Leeds United has a great chance to make a statement by posing a danger to Manchester United.
But by joining the Premier League this summer, Leeds will have a fantastic chance to put themselves to the test against a team that is probably going to finish in the bottom half of the standings the following season.
Leeds may send a message to Man United if they enter this game hoping for a truly strong showing rather than merely “minutes in the tank.” This would not only boost Elland Road’s confidence for the next season, but it would also add to the darkness on the Pennines.
