Leeds United v Man Utd friendly kick-off time will not mean a late night for UK fans

The kick-off time has been confirmed for the friendly between Leeds United and Manchester United, which forms part of the pre-season tour to Australia.

The Whites first team will travel to Australia in the build up to the club's centenary year, taking on Manchester United in Perth and Western Sydney Warriors at the brand new Western Sydney Stadium, the first time the Wanderers have played at the new 30,000 capacity stadium.
