Leeds United’s return to pre-season is now imminent with the start of the Championship season just five weeks away. It will be a shorter pre-season than in seasons gone by but the Whites will be keen to cram plenty in to make sure they’re ready for the new campaign.
As such, in just 12 days’ time, the club will be playing their first pre-season friendly with a clash against Manchester United in Oslo scheduled. Leeds’ international players are expected to return before that fixture takes place but they won’t travel, with Leeds using those who are due back on day one of pre-season.
A lot could happen between now and that meeting at Ullevaal Stadion, with players potentially coming and going, but that is hard to predict at this point in time. As such, using the list of players expected back at Thorp Arch first, here’s a look at the best side the Whites could select to face the Red Devils.
