MU disappoints again.

On the evening of January 4th, MU only managed one point against hosts Leeds after a 1-1 draw in their Premier League matchday 20 game.

Cunha couldn't help MU secure three points.

Although Leeds United and Manchester United have only competed in the Premier League together for a mere four seasons in the last 22 seasons, each encounter between the two teams still carries the characteristic animosity of one of the most emotionally charged derbies in England.

This rematch at Elland Road takes place against a backdrop of Leeds' impressive form, while Manchester United enter the match with many questions hanging in the balance. Daniel Farke's team started 2026 with a courageous goalless draw against Liverpool at Anfield, extending their unbeaten run to six matches. Their home ground has become a strong advantage, where Leeds have won 15 out of 21 points this season. Conversely, Ruben Amorim's Manchester United recently disappointed with a 1-1 draw against Wolves and have only won one of their last four matches, showing that instability still prevails.

The head-to-head history clearly favors Manchester United. Leeds have won only one of their last 19 Premier League encounters, with their last victory dating back to September 2002.

Manchester United are also aiming for three consecutive away wins against Leeds, something they've never achieved before. However, the current statistics offer hope for the home side. Leeds have only conceded two goals in the first half at home this season, among the best in the league, and have only failed to score once in their last 17 home games.

For United, defensive fragility is a major problem: they haven't kept a clean sheet in 14 consecutive away games and have conceded 12 equalizing goals, the most in the Premier League.

Leeds will be without captain Ethan Ampadu due to suspension, while centre-back Sebastiaan Bornauw's availability is uncertain. Brenden Aaronson is the most notable player for the home side, having scored 7 of their last 8 goals at Elland Road, including 3 early goals.

Manchester United haven't seen any significant returns, and Matheus Cunha, who scored against Leeds, will be the main hope in attack.

With their contrasting forms, Elland Road promises to be a tense match, where the past and present clash fiercely.
