It comes around quickly, doesn’t it? Leeds United will be kicking off their Championship season in three and a half weeks’ time and they’ll be taking their pre-season preparations up a notch on Wednesday when they take to the field for their first pre-season friendly of the summer.
Manchester United will be their opponents in Olso, with the game being played in front of the Whites’ large Scandinavian support and for Daniel Farke it will be his first chance to see his players in action. Of course, the German manager will be travelling to Norway with a smaller squad, made up of those who returned to pre-season training last week.
That means Leeds will be without some of their bigger, more high-profile names against the Red Devils, but Farke will be keen to hand out chances to impress to several of his younger players as the new campaign nears. Darko Gyabi will be one player being watched closely by the new manager.
