Monday Night Football Comes From Old Trafford As Man Utd Take On Leeds
Old Trafford | Premier League | Monday April 13 | 8pm
With vital Premier League points on the line, BetVictor News provides the Man Utd vs Leeds prediction, preview, H2H record, team news, betting angles, odds and more ahead of Monday’s Old Trafford showdown.
Man Utd Vs Leeds Preview
Three-and-a-half-weeks since their last competitive fixture, Man Utd are back in action on April 13 as they face old rivals Leeds on home soil. The Red Devils are odds-on in the Premier League top 4 betting market to make their return to Europe’s elite club competition next season.
And their chances will increase further with a victory over the Whites on MD32. Daniel Farke’s side have managed to keep their heads above water all season but precious points are still required to ensure their top-flight status for 2026-27.
However, the Man Utd vs Leeds odds can’t see past a win for Michael Carrick’s side. United have only lost once in 2026 and have beaten the likes of Arsenal, Man City and Aston Villa along the way. Since Carrick stepped into the dugout, the Red Devils have improved drastically.
And that is why Carrick is 4/5 to be named the next permanent Man Utd manager. Although his appointment in January was considered temporary, another W on Monday will only strengthen his case to take the role full-time.
Man Utd Vs Leeds H2H Record
When it comes to the Man Utd vs Leeds H2H record since 2000, there is only one clear winner. The Roses rivalry has been dominated by the Red Devils. Across the 18 fixtures in all competitions, United have won 10 times and lost on just two occasions.
The most famous Leeds victory came in the FA Cup 3rd round in 2010. Jermaine Beckford scored the only goal of the game to stun Old Trafford. The Whites were a League One side at the time. The only other victory came in a Premier League clash in 2002. Harry Kewell scored the only goal of the game at Elland Road.
But from Man Utd’s perspective, they have won four of the last seven top-flight meetings with three draws being played out. In the reverse fixture, Brenden Aaronson gave Leeds the lead before Matheus Cunha struck to earn a share of the spoils.
