Leeds seek first home win over United since 2002

Leeds United host Manchester United on Sunday seeking their first home victory against them since 2002.

Leeds United and Manchester United meet on Sunday at Elland Road in what marks a reversal of their recent fortunes. Leeds have not beaten Manchester United at home since 2002, a 24-year wait. They drew 1-1 when the sides met in January, a result that left Leeds believing they should have won.

Manchester United are in a precarious position under interim manager Michael Carrick. Their sole Premier League victory this season came in a 5-2 win over newly-promoted Ipswich Town, following a loss to Hull City on the opening day. Carrick's last win of any kind came on 10 September when Manchester United defeated Sabah FK 4-0 in a non-league competition.

The fixture carries particular significance given recent events at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim, Manchester United's previous manager, departed less than 24 hours after a post-match outburst following January's match at Elland Road, in which he criticised his board and transfer team. Amorim had delivered a heated response after what he felt was a mistake by Leeds goalkeeper Lucas Perri.
