Paul Pogba and Raphael Varane return as Manchester United fans select Leeds line-up

Manchester United return to Premier League action this afternoon as they travel to Elland Road to face Leeds.

United head into the clash on the back of a morale-boosting victory over Brighton on Tuesday. Second-half strikes from Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes were enough to sink the Seagulls at Old Trafford as United got back to winning ways.

Their opponents may well be low on confidence after suffering a 3-0 defeat to Everton last time out.

Despite securing three points in midweek, United supporters would make three changes to the side that beat Brighton in their last outing.

Here's the team you would pick to face Leeds.

Goalkeeper - David de Gea

Once again, no surprises here as De Gea retains his place in goal.

He's been the star man at Old Trafford this campaign and looks to have well and truly cemented his place as Ralf Rangnick's go-to goalkeeper.

Defenders - Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Victor Lindelof, Alex Telles

United fans have chosen to replace Harry Maguire with Raphael Varane.

It's been a rollercoaster week for the England international with Rangnick forced to deny he could strip the centre-back of the captain's armband.

Maguire's international teammate Luke Shaw also misses out with Alex Telles taking his place at left-back.

Midfielders - Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, Scott McTominay

Just the one change in midfield as Pogba comes in for Fred.

Rangnick brought the Frenchman on for Fred during the victory over Brighton and it's possible, due to Pogba coming back from injury, that the United boss allowed him some time to rest with this game in mind.

Fernandes and McTominay keep their places after the former scored in midweek.

Forwards - Jadon Sancho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Anthony Elanga

United fans are happy to stick with the same front three that downed the Seagulls.

Ronaldo will be hoping to return to his devastating best after breaking his 2022 duck last time out.

Sancho has also improved massively in recent weeks and deserves to retain his place.
