Meanwhile, the race for top four could prove to be a tight one with Tottenham and Newcastle firmly in the mix. It is hardly the opportune moment to be struck with a lengthy list of absentees. Casemiro will be banned for the next three league games after putting his hands on the neck of Will Hughes in Saturday's win over Crystal Palace while Scott McTominay, who deputized for him against Manchester United, is unavailable. Further forward Anthony Martial and Antony are injured, absentees that could open the door for Jadon Sancho to start for the first time since October. A combination of injuries and mental health matters have meant the England international has been given time to recuperate by Erik ten Hag, if that pays off in the coming weeks and Sancho displays the form he did at Borussia Dortmund then United will be a threat to anyone.

Leeds United: Chris Armas, the former Manchester United coach hired by Marsch two weeks ago, will be among those in the Leeds dugout at Old Trafford and he more than anyone may feel he has a point to prove following speculation that he was labelled "Ted Lasso" by players at his previous club.
Paco Gallardo and Michael Skubala will also make up the coaching staff for one of the biggest matches in Leeds' season and it was the latter who was tasked with giving the pre-match press conference. "I think the mood is, I wouldn't say down, but the mood is ok, " he said. "The mood is about 'we've got to focus on Manchester United, we've got to be positive and we've got to go after three points. ' I don't think anybody thinks it is going to be easy but, as long as we're competitive and we put on a good show, and put a good team on the pitch, that's the most we can ask for. If we can do something, and nick something, that would be great.

Despite the game's postponement, the rearranged match is still not permitted to be shown on TV. The departure of former Leeds boss Jesse Marsch should add to the intrigue, as Leeds look to avoid the dreaded drop. Marsch was dismissed after his side were beaten by Nottingham Forest 1-0 over the weekend, leaving them just one place outside the relegation zone. In his place, Chris Armas, Michael Skubala and Paco Gallardo will take temporary charge of the club. Leeds have been without a win in their last seven Premier League matches, with the Whites languishing in 17th place AND holding on to safety by meagre goal difference.
Jesse Marsch was sacked on Monday, paying the price for a disastrous run of form since the World Cup that has left the Yorkshire side hovering above the relegation zone on goal difference. Leeds are not expected to have a permanent head coach in place for the visit to Old Trafford, a ground that has rediscovered its fear factor under Erik ten Hag. No away side has emerged from a visit to the ground with so much as a point in their last 13 games across all competitions, their best run since September 2011. It would take quite an about turn for Leeds to change that.
