Manchester United begin their preparations for the upcoming Premier League campaign with a pre-season clash against fierce rivals Leeds this afternoon.

This will be the first time Erik ten Hag’s side will have taken to the pitch in pre-season, with expectations high for the Dutchman’s second year in charge on the back of his third-place finish and Carabao Cup success last term.

Leeds, on the other hand, will spend this season in the Championship after their three-year stay in the top flight was brought to an end following their 19th place finish in the Premier League.

The Yorkshire club have appointed former Norwich manager Daniel Farke to spearhead their quest to return to the top tier of English football.

Here is everything you need to know about the friendly game between Manchester United and Leeds, including how to watch in the UK.

What time does the game kick-off?

Manchester United vs Leeds will kick-off today (Wednesday, July 12) at 4pm BST.
