MU vs Leeds United Prediction 8pm July 19: MU will find it difficult to 'bully' the rookie

Pre-match review

After a disappointing season, MU is looking forward to the new season with a friendly match against Leeds United in Sweden. This is an opportunity for both teams to evaluate their strength, squad and "warm up" for the new season.

With MU, coach Ruben Amorim is trying to refresh the squad, recruiting more quality new players to fill the team's key positions. The $85 million contract with Matheus Cunha is expected to be the motivation for MU to show a more vibrant face. In more than 2 seasons with Wolverhampton, Cunha has had 33 goals and 15 assists. Cunha's technical playing style promises to help MU's attack become more flexible and more unpredictable.

On the other side of the front line, Leeds United are full of energy after a successful new season. They won the Championship to return to the Premier League. According to experts, Leeds United will be an interesting factor in the Premier League this season.

Form and head-to-head record

Leeds United is no stranger to MU in the past. The confrontations between the two sides are often full of emotion, although MU usually wins. In the last 5 meetings, MU won 4 and drew 1. However, this statistic can become meaningless if MU is subjective against an opponent who is full of enthusiasm.

In the last 5 matches, MU won 2 lost 3, scored 5 goals and conceded 4 goals. Leeds United won all 5 recent matches, conceded only 2 goals but scored 15 goals.

Force information

New signing Cunha is expected to make his debut against Leeds United, but goalkeeper Onana will miss out due to injury. Bruno Fernandes' ability to play is also unclear. This is an opportunity for coach Amorim to test new faces. Leeds United, meanwhile, are expected to field their strongest lineup.
