Manchester United face Leeds United this evening in their fifth pre-season friendly of the summer, at Dublin's Croke Park. The 82,300-capacity arena, headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association, is sold out for its first football match since 2009.
United lost their opening pre-season game against Wrexham but have been unbeaten since, in meetings with Rosenborg, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. Marcus Rashford is included in the squad for the Dublin training camp, based at Carton House in County Kildare, which United also used in April during a gap between Premier League games.
How to watch the game
The match will be shown live on ITV1, with United's own broadcast on MUTV. Premier Sports 2 is also streaming the game live from 7.15pm.
Team news and line-up predictions
With two friendlies remaining before the Premier League season opener, head coach Michael Carrick faces decisions on his starting XI. Tyrone Marshall suggests Lammens could return in goal if fit, with Diogo Dalot at right-back and Leny Yoro partnering Harry Maguire, while Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans could start in midfield, with Bruno Fernandes in the No.10 role. Bryan Mbeumo is tipped to continue as striker, with Amad on the right and Patrick Dorgu on the left.
Jack Flintham echoes the call for Lammens to start, noting he has not played since a mistake at the World Cup. He also suggests Yoro and Heaven could help Carrick decide his defensive partner for Maguire, and that the Santos-Tielemans partnership deserves a trial. Fernandes should step up preparations, while Amad's impressive display against PSG warrants another start on the right. Dorgu might be replaced by Cunha on the left, and Rashford could be saved for the AC Milan game.
Tielemans interview and Evans on transfer
Youri Tielemans, speaking at Carton House, said: "It is a great achievement for any player to end up here. There has been two times that I spoke with the club, but it did not achieve to anything." Jonny Evans revealed Michael Carrick asked him whether Tielemans would drive standards before signing the Belgian for £35m, following Belgium's World Cup exit. Tielemans arrived the same week United confirmed Andrey Santos from Chelsea, as midfield became a priority after Casemiro's departure and Manuel Ugarte's injury.
