The Premier League record Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo can break in Leeds fixture

Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo will set a new Premier League record if he is named in Ralf Rangnick's starting line-up for Sunday's highly anticipated meeting with Leeds United at Elland Road.

The Reds, who got back to winning ways on Tuesday with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion, will lock horns with their rivals in front of fans at Elland Road for the first time since a League Cup tie in September 2011.

However, you have to go all the way back to October 2003 for the last time United visited this particular corner of West Yorkshire for a Premier League fixture with all four sides of the ground packed to the rafters, given that last season's meeting was played behind closed doors due to Covid-19 regulations.
