Manchester United welcome Leeds United to Old Trafford, as the visitors look to get their survival push back on track.

After an underwhelming run going into the international break, Leeds returned to competitive action with a superb day out in East London, with Daniel Farke’s side beating West Ham to secure a spot in the FA Cup semi-finals.

After a fantastic period running from the festive period to March, the Whites were able to begin forging a gap to the drop zone, with survival the main goal after promotion to the top-flight last May.

However, fortunes have changed, with Leeds dragged back into the battle at the bottom.

Looking to get their push for survival back on track, Farke’s side face a Manchester United side completely transformed under Michael Carrick.

How to watch Manchester United vs Leeds United

By the time the pair lock horns on Monday, it will have been over three weeks since they last played a minute of Premier League football.

While league form does somewhat go out of the window given the extended break, Leeds will be desperate to improve on the rather lacklustre performances seen before the international window.

In the UK, fans will not in attendance will be able to catch the action on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, with coverage starting at 6:30pm

Alongside this, Sky Sports subscribers can watch on the move, via the Sky Go app and website.

Leeds will be desperate for a big Old Trafford result

Facing their big rivals, Leeds fans will be desperate to see their side pick up a big result at Old Trafford.

Earlier this season, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Elland Road, with Brendon Aaranson’s goal cancelled out by a Matheus Cunha equaliser.

The clash in January would prove to be Ruben Amorim’s final bout in charge at Old Trafford, before the Red Devils transformed under Michael Carrick.

You have to go back to 1981 to find a Leeds win at Old Trafford in the league – a record that Farke and his side will be desperate to bring to an end.

The recent form of the two sides suggests that the hosts go in as favourites, but a result for the West Yorkshire outfit would put their survival bid back on track, with all-but-relegated Wolves and Burnley to come to Elland Road across the coming weeks.

Starting with a trip to their rivals, Leeds are looking to get back on track, and calm the nerves among the fanbase after recent results.
