Manchester United will lock horns with Leeds United at Elland Road this Sunday as they look to secure all three points on the road in the Premier League. The Red Devils suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss at the hands of Atletico Madrid recently, so they would be desperate to put in a much-improved showing this weekend.

Michael Carrick will set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make some tweaks to his first team for this game. Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot and Carlos Baleba could all play from the start of this clash.

Senne Lammens will feature in goal for the Red Devils after conceding two goals in his last outing. Lisandro Martinez will resume his partnership with Harry Maguire at the centre of the Man United backline as they look to keep a good shape on the defensive end of the field.

Diogo Dalot will try to put in a good performance at right-back, while Luke Shaw hopes to prove his value on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.

Ayden Heaven will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Kobbie Mainoo and Carlos Baleba will operate as the holding midfielders as they focus on establishing their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park and orchestrating a few inviting chances in the final third.

The talented trio of Matheus Cunha, Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo will play just ahead of them as part of the Man United attack. All three of them need to be at their best if the Red Devils are to secure a win this weekend.
