Leeds United vs Manchester United: How to watch Dublin friendly and kick-off time

Leeds United and Manchester United will renew their fierce rivalry in pre-season this summer with a game in Dublin, Ireland.

As the season looms around the corner, it provides Daniel Farke's side with a strong test and showing of where they currently are at.

Despite it being a friendly, games between these two sides are typically anything but.

There will certainly be plenty of intrigue surrounding this clash, with supporters who are unable to attend in-person still wishing to watch on.

It should turn out to be a competitive fixture despite the nature of the game.

And here is everything Leeds supporters need to know about how to watch the game, which takes place on Wednesday, 12 August.

Will Leeds United vs Manchester United be on TV?

While most of Leeds' friendlies have been available to watch via LUTV, supporters will be able to watch this one on their TVs in the UK.

The fixture is set to be broadcast on ITV1, STV and Premier Sports 2 on 12 August.

Additionally, the game will once again be live on LUTV worldwide, except in the Republic of Ireland, with a £5 fee required for access.

Irish supporters who could not make the game in the 82,300-capacity Croke Park will be able to watch through Premier Sports 2.

The game kicks off at 7.30 pm UK time, with live coverage beginning on ITV1 and STV at 7 pm, featuring John O'Shea and Michael Brown as pundits.

Premier Sports 2's coverage will begin 15 minutes later at 7.15 pm.

How do both teams stack up heading into the renewed rivalry?

Supporters will not care that this game is a friendly. They will want to come out of the clash with bragging rights.

Ahead of the season, this is both outfits' penultimate pre-season game until the Premier League season kicks off.

Over pre-season, the Whites have been the side in better form, winning three out of four of their games.

While, Manchester United have won two, drew one and lost the other.

Interestingly, it was Wrexham who handed out a loss to both Leeds and Manchester United this summer.

However, as the cliche saying goes, in derbies and rivalries, form can go out the window.

Tensions will certainly be high, particularly among fans attending the game itself.

And former Whites goalkeeper Karl Darlow could be set for a hostile reception, following his decision to snub Leeds' contract offer for their rivals, Man United.
