Marcel Sabitzer has been handed his first start as a Manchester United player, with Erik ten Hag welcoming Leeds United at Old Trafford.

Manchester United vs Leeds United has produced some brilliant matches in the last few seasons, with a 5-1 trashing at Old Trafford and 4-2 win at Elland Road last season positive memories for the Red Devils.

Erik ten Hag will be facing Leeds United for the first time in his United career on Wednesday evening, with the fixture being postponed in September after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Speaking ahead of the fixture, Ten Hag said: “I always think about the long term, in every club where I was, I have been thinking about long-term work to build a culture, to build a way of playing, to develop the players and the team obviously.

“I think in the long term obviously in contracts and in windows, because I think that is the (right) way. Thinking about the long term and acting in the long way and so I stay also with many clubs a long time compared to nowadays.

“I am not here for one year, I am longer, I see it is a long-term project. To build here and how long it is you can’t see, I can’t tell.”

Casemiro is unavailable for the fixture due to suspension, while Anthony Martial, Scott McTomiany, Christian Eriksen, Donny van de Beek, and Antony are all side lined with injury.
