Leeds United tactical tweaks expected at Man United as caretakers target quick improvements

Leeds United fans can expect to see tactical ‘tweaks’ made on Wednesday night when the Whites travel to face Manchester United. That’s according to Michael Skubala, who will be alongside Chris Armas and Paco Gallardo in the Old Trafford dugout, following the dismissal of Jesse Marsch earlier this week.

Marsch spent almost a year at the Leeds helm and helped the club to survival last season, but with performances continuing to underwhelm and Leeds sliding down the table, the decision was taken to relieve him of his duties. As such, the caretaker team will be in charge against Erik ten Hag’s side in midweek and they could lead the Whites into the return fixture at Elland Road, with the Champions League chasers making their way over the Pennines on Sunday.

Of course, given the amount of time, of lack of it, Skubala, Armas and Gallardo have been afforded, changes against the Red Devils can expected to be minimal. The trio will have only taken one training session before boarding the bus to Manchester and being asked to put a starting XI together.
