Sunday 4.30pm.
Good to see the War of the Roses back on the fixture list and hopefully United can exceed expectations and cause Manchester some issues.
Manchester have struggled for home form whereas United's away form has been very good this season.
The last time these two sides met was the disappointing defeat for United in Australia. That day was an embarrassment for Manchester mind with plastic fans out in force. Not one single song sang and a blinking half time dance off with Jesse Lingard. It was a resounding defeat on the field for United but a proud day off it has the fans turned out in numbers and out sang Manchester all night.
I expect a game of many goals and but i fear that Manchester will win this game with the excellent ability to counter and pace upfront. I am not sure how the United defence will cope with Rashford-Martial-Greenwood-Bruno.
Whatever the result United have come a long way in 2 seasons and whilst these games against the top sides like Manchester are seemingly a step too far just yet it is hoped the club can keep slowly closing the gap.
Cmon United!! MOT

Dirty Leeds are rank 20 out of 20 for shots conceded and big chances conceded in last 4 PL games.
If you come and sit deep you might get something. If you come and play your usual game our forwards will run riot.

"If you come and sit deep you might get something. If you come and play your usual game our forwards will run riot."
So, the same mind thought as Liverpool and City!..
That's the way we like it!..

We only have one way of playing and it's not sitting deep:
"A 'Plan B' is like an anxiolytic, something which can reduce anxiety," he says. "What I want to happen hasn't happened, so I demand that you stop what you are doing and you do something different.
"Obviously, if that something different turns out to be effective, it will be seen as a success. But from my point of view, what you have to decide as a manager is whether to completely replace the structure you are trying to build, or whether to just correct what doesn't work about it.
"Every manager has his own profile and they try to maintain that profile while conserving the things that are good and removing the things that aren't. There are very few managers who jump from one style to another and that's because establishing a style of play is very, very difficult and is linked to your way of interpreting football.
"This is not intended as a criticism of anyone, but if someone stops thinking the way they think and starts doing the opposite, then that is difficult to make work in football. To give up on your convictions is not a good way to move a project forward."
