U21s Preview: Leeds United vs Manchester United | OneFootball

Leeds United Under-21s continue their Premier League 2 campaign this Friday, as they welcome rivals Manchester United Under-21s to the LNER Community Stadium.

The Whites will be keen to bounce back from their last outing in the competition which came prior to Christmas, where United slipped to a 4-2 defeat against Blackburn Rovers despite well taken goals from Rhys Chadwick and Louie Dudley.

Before that clash, Leeds beat FC Halifax Town on penalties in the National League Cup, to strengthen their position at the top of the Group C standings, with Chadwick again on target in normal time.

After 10 matches played so far in the PL2, Scott Gardner’s youthful side sit comfortably in mid-table, having won three matches and drawn on three occasions to date.

Leeds find themselves just six points adrift of their Manchester opposition, who have fallen to defeat twice in their previous five encounters.

Last time out, however, Travis Binnion's team recorded an emphatic 5-1 success over Southampton at their Carrington training complex, with midfielder Jack Moorhouse grabbing a brace on the day for the hosts.

The two sides met last campaign in the PL2 at Old Trafford, where goals from Sean McGurk and Connor Douglas ensured the Whites picked up an impressive result in front of a vocal travelling contingent of supporters.

Action from the LNER Community Stadium gets underway at 7pm.
