Man United Vs Leeds Preview
After slipping to a 1-0 defeat to Wrexham in their first pre-season friendly this summer, Man United have gone on to beat Rosenborg and Atletico Madrid whilst registering a draw against back-to-back Champions League winners PSG.
Although the Man United vs Leeds odds favour Michael Carrick’s side, the Whites will do their utmost to beat their rivals. And having suffered a similar fate against Ryan Reynold’s side last month, Daniel Farke’s side have gone on to beat Sunderland, Liverpool and RB Leipzig.
Man United Vs Leeds H2H Record
It’s no secret that the Roses Rivalry is one of the most hostile in England but who comes out on top in the Man United vs Leeds H2H record? To date, the Red Devils have won 50 games compared to the Whites 27. A total of 38 draws have been played out between the two clubs.
During the last clash back in April, Daniel Farke’s side defied the Premier League betting odds to clinch their first win at Old Trafford in PL history. Swiss star Noah Okafor scored both goals for the visitors with Casemiro replying for Michael Carrick’s side. That 2-1 win was Leeds first win against United since Jermaine Beckford scored the only goal of the game in the 2009-10 FA Cup clash.
- Man United wins – 50
- Draws – 38
- Leeds wins – 27
