Erik ten Hag has explained the rationale behind Manchester United’s surprising starting XI at Leeds United.
The Red Devils head to Elland Road to take on Leeds just four days on from the pair’s entertaining 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. On that occasion, the Whites established a two-goal lead, before goals from Marcus Rashford and the returning Jadon Sancho earned them a point.
That fixture was rearranged due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II back in September, meaning the two rivals will go head-to-head twice in the same week. Interim Leeds boss Michael Skubala hinted there may be some surprises considering the quick turnaround, but it’s the visitors whose lineup is arguably more eye-catching.
