Leeds United’s caretaker team have made two changes to the Whites’ starting XI to take on Manchester United at Old Trafford this evening. Michael Skubala promised tactical tweaks in his pre-match press conference on Tuesday afternoon following the sacking of Jesse Marsch and he’ll be keen to see an improved performance.
Skubala gave little away in regards to injury news in the build-up to the match, but the Whites will be without Marc Roca and Liam Cooper this evening. The pair won’t be involved at all, meaning Luke Ayling will wear the captain’s armband.
Weston McKennie comes into the midfield line to make his full United debut this evening. He got 33 minutes off the bench at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon, but he’ll look to make more of an impression this evening as he starts alongside Tyler Adams.

Robin Koch steps straight back into the starting XI after serving his one-match suspension, too, to partner Max Wober in the heart of the defence.
Luis Sinisterra keeps his spot in the side, despite enduring a difficult afternoon against Nottingham Forest. As does Patrick Bamford, with club record signing Georginio Rutter named on the bench once more.
Leeds United: Illan Meslier; Luke Ayling, Robin Koch, Max Wober, Pascal Struijk; Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams, Jack Harrison, Luis Sinisterra, Patrick Bamford, Wilfried Gnonto.
Bench: Joel Robles, Rasmus Kristensen, Junior Firpo, Sam Greenwood, Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, Mateo Joseph, Darko Gyabi, Brenden Aaronson
