Leeds United will get their first outing under their new manager Daniel Farke.
The boss was in charge of Norwich when they were promoted on two separate occasion from the Championship into the top-flight.
But wasn’t able to keep the Canaries in the Premier League for long and has overseen two relegation campaigns.
Leeds are in good hands for the Championship task though in which they’ve already had defy the odds to make a comeback after so long.
The Championship this season is potentially the hardest one to call along with the toughest given the types of teams relegated into it and the clubs promoted into it from League One.
Man United on the other hand finally returned to third in the table after a disappointing sixth-place finish the year before.
Erik ten Hag looks to have the best way of getting them back to be competitive with the league title, but still have to find away to better Man City’s impressive streak.
They can do that with a few changes to their squad but it’s harder still with the Glazers still not selling up to the wealthy replacements.
Their first step for this, this summer has been the £60m marquee signing of Mason Mount from Chelsea, a side who really struggled in the campaign just gone and they will hope to get him back to his best.
Others however, are departing to make room for potentially more arrivals, including club legend David De Gea, Phil Jones out as a free agent, while Alex Telles and Eric Bailly could return as their loan spells have ended.
They will need a goalkeeper replacement though, and Jordan Pickford is even money to head to Old Trafford.
United’s squad depth is impressive at this stage and will surely be able to make the most of that over the Championship side who have already lost a few key players to the relegation.
However, they still hold on to numerous players that can play at that level and will make it difficult for United to play how they want to, even in an elite club friendly.
