Leeds seek first home win over United in 24 years
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 05:32 · Archive
Leeds United have not beaten Manchester United at home since 2002 and will attempt to end that 24-year wait this Sunday.
Leeds United have not beaten Manchester United at home since September 2002, when Harry Kewell scored the winner. Only seven matches between the clubs at Elland Road have taken place since Leeds' return to the Premier League, with one coming in the League Cup. A victory this Sunday would be Leeds' first home win over United in 24 years and their first back-to-back wins against them since 1972.
Manchester United arrive in poor form. They have won just one of their opening six Premier League matches and are without a win in their past four games. In midweek, defender Lisandro Martinez criticised the board and the club's summer signings, prompting manager Michael Carrick to hold a meeting with him. Carrick has lost five of his six meetings against Leeds manager Daniel Farke, with his only win coming in a League Cup tie while managing Middlesbrough.
Tony Dorigo has said that Ethan Ampadu, Leeds' captain, will play an important part in preparing the club's new players for the occasion.
