Team News
Mason Mount could make his first appearance for Manchester United following the completion of his £55 million move from Chelsea last week. Tom Heaton is the only senior goalkeeper with the travelling party with David de Gea having left the club as a free agent, whilst Dean Henderson is continuing his recovery from surgery. Lisandro Martinez has returned to training at Carrington as the Argentine steps up his recovery from the nasty foot injury picked up in April.
For Leeds, Stuart Dallas, Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra have all been suffering from long-term injuries but Farke will be keen to see the trio play at least some part in the Norwegian capital. A number of players have already left Leeds following last season’s relegation to the Championship, including Robin Koch, Diego Llorente and Weston McKennie.

The game will take place at the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, Norway and will be available to watch live on MUTV and LUTV respectively. Both sides have a number of players missing due to injury, but it should still be an entertaining affair as both teams look to get their pre-season preparations off to a good start.
