Leeds United vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from Elland Road
Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Manchester United in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after beating Liverpool to the finish line in a neck-and-neck 2021/22 title race where a comeback win on the final day of the season against Aston Villa secured a fourth title in five years for Pep Guardiola's side.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were on course for a quadruple last season but were forced to settle for just an FA Cup and Carabao Cup win and will return trying to win the title again just as they did in 2020.
It was a dramatic season for Chelsea a year ago with Roman Abramovich now replaced by Todd Boehly as owner in west London. He will want an instant return on his hefty investment at Stamford Bridge while Tottenham, back in the Champions League, will want to kick on once more too.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest promoted to the top tier for 2021/22 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Leeds United vs Manchester United
Manchester United leapfrog Manchester City into second and move to just five points behind leaders Arsenal, though their City rivals kick-off shortly. Next up for them is a trip to Barcelona for the Europa League play-off. Leeds stay just above the relegation zone in 17th and have a huge match next weekend as they travel to Everton, who sit just below them.
Leeds United vs Manchester United
Manchester United leave it late to beat Leeds 2-0. For the majority of the game, Leeds were arguably the better side. De Gea marked his 400th Premier League performance with a clean sheet, but he was called into making big saves to keep out Bamford, Summerville and Gnonto over the 90 minutes. The Red Devils struck the bar in the second half thanks to Dalot's powerful strike before Rashford and Garnacho scored twice in the last 10 minutes to seal the win. Rashford and Weghorst also had a goal each disallowed after that to deny them a bigger victory.
