Manchester United vs Leeds LIVE! Pre-season friendly result, match stream and latest updates today
Manchester United got their pre-season preparations off to a positive start with a win over rivals Leeds in Oslo.
Summer signing Mason Mount made his debut for Erik ten Hag’s side and went close to a brilliant goal on his first appearance when winning possession high up the pitch before launching an audacious chip, only to see the ball skim over the crossbar.
Lisandro Martinez, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane were among the other senior players handed a run-out, though ten Hag made major changes at the break.
A raft of young players looking to impress before the club head out to the United States for a tour were brought on, two of which got on the scoresheet.
Winger Noam Emeran opened the scoring with a fine finish before the Frenchman played a lovely ball through to striker Joe Hugill, who doubled the advantage.
United continue their pre-season schedule with a meeting against Lyon in Edinburgh next week.

Man United vs Leeds: Harry Maguire told to leave Old Trafford
Harry Maguire does not look set for a big future at Manchester United and Dwight Yorke believes the England defender needs to leave.
Yorke was speaking to BoyleSports who offer the latest Premier League odds here.
“Harry Maguire has been at Man United for four years now, he’s clearly talented and is still one of England’s number one defenders. If he doesn’t match the philosophy of Erik ten Hag, then there’s nothing he can do but leave the club. Aston Villa would be a great destination for Maguire, they’re ambitious and want to break into the top six.
“Unai Emery has done a fantastic job, they have a great stadium and an amazing fanbase. Villa are looking to bring in established players to break into the European spots consistently and Maguire is one of those established players. It’s a fresh start for Maguire, he can get out of the limelight and blossom again, there are not many better destinations for him to return to his best than Aston Villa.”

Man United vs Leeds: Dwight Yorke urges club to sign Moises Caicedo
Wednesday 12 July 2023 14:49 , Jonathan Gorrie
Manchester United have already signed Mason Mount from Chelsea but have now been urged to move for one of the Blues’s top targets.
Old Trafford legend Dwight Yorke has backed the move.
“Price tags are ridiculous in football now, it is what it is, but Moises Caicedo is a damn good player and had a great season for Brighton. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Man United sign him because he plays in a position that we need more depth in.
“You see the change in quality when Casemiro comes out of the team due to suspension or injury, we don’t look the same. Caicedo would give that energy in the midfield, he’s very functional in the directiveness of his play and he’s also aggressive and a great tackler. I’m not surprised to see Chelsea are in for him too.”
Yorke was speaking to BoyleSports who offer the latest Premier League odds here.

Wednesday 12 July 2023 14:29 , Jonathan Gorrie
Mason Mount has revealed that he decided to leave Chelsea after it became clear he was not in their plans under owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.
Mount has joined Manchester United in a £60million deal and signed a five-year contract at Old Trafford.
The midfielder had been reluctant to leave Chelsea, whom he joined at the age of six, but his relationship with the Stamford Bridge hierarchy had deteriorated in recent months.
Arsenal lose chief doctor to Manchester United as second key staffer leaves in as many days
Wednesday 12 July 2023 14:19 , Jonathan Gorrie
Arsenal’s head of medical services, Gary O’Driscoll, is leaving the club to take up a similar role with Manchester United.
O’Driscoll has been with Arsenal since February 2009 and has proved to be a very popular figure at the club.
Arsenal sporting director Edu informed club staff on Friday that O’Driscoll was leaving, explaining it would “take his family closer to their loved ones”.
O’Driscoll came close to leaving Arsenal in 2020 to go up north to Liverpool, but manager Mikel Arteta persuaded him to stay.
Chelsea told what they must do to sign Osimhen as striker shortlist revealed
Wednesday 12 July 2023 14:09 , Jonathan Gorrie
Chelsea and Manchester United must produce an “indecent” offer to sign Victor Osimhen this summer, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has declared.
The Nigerian striker reportedly has a £130million price tag around his neck for the transfer window, during which Chelsea are keen to add to their firepower.
Despite the signings of Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku, Standard Sport understand a shortlist of targets has been drawn up to improve Mauricio Pochettino’s options in attack.
Prediction
Wednesday 12 July 2023 14:06 , Jonathan Gorrie
Erik ten Hag should use the game as a chance to take a look at his youngsters and get early minutes into his senior stars’ legs.
Given the strength of the squad, and Leeds’ injury woes, this should be a fairly straight forward win.
Man United to win 2-0.
