Man United and Leeds Meet in Sold‑Out Pre‑Season Friendly at Croke Park

The match is a final fitness test to assess World Cup returnees, to judge new signings, to decide selection before the Premier League.

Overview

  • The fixture kicks off at 7:30pm BST on Wednesday at Croke Park and is expected to draw about 80,000 fans for the first club football match at the stadium since 2009.
  • ITV1 will show the game free to air with streaming on ITVX and club channels MUTV and LUTV, the latter available worldwide for £5 excluding the Republic of Ireland.
  • Marcus Rashford has rejoined Manchester United’s group and is available for selection as Michael Carrick uses the game to reintegrate World Cup returnees.
  • Mason Mount will not play after being withdrawn with a knock in the PSG friendly and has missed training, with his absence being treated as a precaution.
  • Leeds have their new signings with them in Dublin, including goalkeeper James Trafford who could make his debut as managers use the match to assess summer recruits and squad fitness.
