Merry Christmas, folks. All of us at LeedsLive hope you’re having a wonderful day with friends and family. While I can’t promise this was typed out with my kids hanging off me around the tree, it’s still possible to look back on where things are at with the Whites.
United’s players and staff will be with their families this morning, but history would suggest Jesse Marsch has to get them into Thorp Arch for a few hours today. Manchester City’s visit may still be two days away, but United cannot let anything slip when the champions are coming to town.
It’s going to be so special to have the real stuff back in our lives. The last 40-plus days have been a grind for all concerned, even if the World Cup was a hugely entertaining spectacle.
