Manchester United take on Leeds United this evening in a pre-season friendly at Croke Park in Dublin. The stadium, known for Gaelic football, holds 82,300 at full capacity, and could be close to a sell-out given the volume of United fans in Ireland.
United's pre-season form
Michael Carrick's men are coming off the back of a 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in Gothenburg, Sweden. Bryan Mbeumo levelled from the penalty spot against the weakened Champions League winners, who went ahead inside two minutes thanks to Ibrahim Mbaye's opener.
Before that, the Red Devils defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 and Rosenborg 5-0, following their surprise 1-0 defeat by Wrexham, the Championship club, in Helsinki, Finland.
Team news and how to watch
There could be returns for several of United's World Cup stars, including Marcus Rashford, who could make his first appearance for the club since December 2024, having spent the last season and a half on loan at Aston Villa and Barcelona.
Kick-off is at 7.30pm BST at Croke Park. In the UK, the match will be televised live for free on ITV1, with coverage starting at 7pm BST. UK viewers can also catch the contest live online via the ITVX app.
