Manchester United and Leeds United’s line-ups for this evening’s derby fixture have been revealed, as Marcel Sabitzer makes his first start for the Red Devils.
Leeds United head to Old Trafford on the back of sacking first-team manager Jesse Marsch. The Whites confirmed Marsch’s departure on Monday, just two days after losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. The club have confirmed that Michael Skubala, Paco Gallardo and Chris Armas will take charge of the squad for this evening’s match.
High-flying Manchester United can go level on points with second place Manchester City with a victory against their rivals this evening. United ran out as 2-1 winners over Crystal Palace at the weekend. The Red Devils have now won 13-straight matches at Old Trafford in all competitions, but can they extend that record tonight?
