Alan Brazil reveals what his Leeds-mad friends have told him ahead of showdown vs Man United

Leeds United have been backed to secure victory against Manchester United.

Elland Road is set to play host to the Red Devils on Sunday as the Whites look to get back to winning ways.

Daniel Farke's side fell to a 2-1 defeat against Arsenal last time out having taken the lead through James Justin.

That was frustrating, but the overall performance was generally positive.

The same can't be said about Michael Carrick's men in recent weeks as the Old Trafford outfit come under massive pressure.

Leeds are now set to welcome Man United to LS11 as Alan Brazil looks ahead to the clash.

What Alan Brazil expects from Leeds vs Manchester United

There has been so much to appreciate about the Yorkshire outfit this season.

That certainly continued at the Emirates as the Whites certainly had their chances.

The likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Gabriel Gudmundsson were excellent in North London and arguably deserved more.

The same can't really be said of many players at Man United after going five without a win in all competitions.

That has certainly caught the attention of Brazil who has told talkSPORT that his Leeds-supporting friends are expecting a performance against the Red Devils.

He said: "It's a cracking game isn't it, Leeds against Man United. On form, you'd have to say Leeds will win. I think there will be a score draw.

"I've got Leeds friends and they are smelling blood. They can't wait to get in and get down to Elland Road. It's going to be great."

Brazil still hasn't backed Farke's men to win, but they will be looking to take advantage of everything going wrong at Old Trafford.

Leeds United can pounce on Lisandro Martinez controversy

Results have been poor for Man United, compounded by a 2-0 away defeat against Atletico Madrid.

Pablo Barrios gave the Spaniards the lead after less than a minute before Ademola Lookman made it two after Leny Yoro was sent off.

That sums up how things are going for Carrick right now, but it was only made worse by Lisandro Martinez's post-match comments.

The Argentine hit out at the hierarchy at Old Trafford, saying: "I expect more [investment]. 100%. I expect more from our technical director [Jason Wilcox]."

He has since released a statement about his words, but stopped short of an apology as part of that.

Martinez has further damaged the current issues at Man United, something which could play perfectly into the hands of Leeds.

Farke needs to gear his side up to cause havoc against the Red Devils and take advantage of all their problems to secure a massive three points.
