Junior Firpo debut and Kalvin Phillips call - The Leeds United line-up fans want vs Man United

Leeds United fans are hopeful that Kalvin Phillips will be fit enough to start for the Whites at Old Trafford this afternoon.

The 25-year-old midfielder has only played a total of 90 minutes football having returned late from his summer holidays after England's Euro 2020 endeavours.

Whites fans want Phillips to start in the midfield three alongside Stuart Dallas and Rodrigo, after Leeds Live offered fans the chance to select their own starting line-ups for the Man U game.

They've also called for Marcelo Bielsa to hand Junior Firpo his Premier League debut against the Red Devils.

The left-back arrived at Elland Road to replace the outgoing Ezgjan Alioski and has looked impressive in pre-season so far.

There were question marks around his fitness levels but - having had a full pre-season under his new boss - he should be somewhat familiar with the style of play.

Pascal Struijk and Robin Koch are the fans pick to start in the heart of the Leeds preferred defence, with Diego Llorente having already been ruled out.

Patrick Bamford is the resounding pick to lead the line for Leeds fans, with Rodrigo the man chosen to operate in behind him.

Leeds fans' average preferred starting XI: Meslier, Ayling, Struijk, Koch, Firpo, Phillips, Dallas, Rodrigo, Raphinha, Bamford, Harrison
