Leeds United caretaker manager Michael Skubala has insisted the mood around the camp is geared towards earning a positive result at Old Trafford. A whirlwind 24 hours has seen Jesse Marsch lose his job as manager almost a year to the day since his appointment.
The bold decision came after a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest but has disrupted plans for a Premier League double-header against Manchester United. Rookie coach Skubala, formerly coach of the England futsal team, is tasked with steadying the ship at Elland Road.
Paco Gallardo and Chris Armas will also be at hand to assist the under-21 manager until Victor Orta and Co find a new manager. Back-to-back fixtures with the Red Devils plunges Skubala directly into the deep end of professional management.
