Manchester United team news and injury latest ahead of Leeds pre-season fixture

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says he expects to have the majority of his Manchester United team available ahead of their second pre-season fixture against Leeds on Wednesday.

United were without four members of their first-team squad for the weekend victory against Perth Glory, while Luke Shaw limped out of the match midway through the second-half and is the only real doubt.

Romelu Lukaku was one of the quartet who missed the victory at the Optus Stadium, but Solskjaer expects him to be in contention when the two sides meet in Perth later this week.

"I think so, we're all training yesterday, no one missed training, 24 players plus keepers," Solskjaer said. "Granty is still not fit, maybe we won't risk Luke, Rom is fit. Luke trained yesterday but we might not risk him tomorrow."

David de Gea was the only substitute who did not feature from the bench at the weekend as United defeated Perth Glory 2-0. Sergio Romero started the win, while Joel Pereira featured from the bench.

However, Solskjaer has confirmed that Spanish shot-stopper De Gea will make an appearance against Leeds this weekend.

The United manager added: "Yeah (playing) and hopefully we can agree (a new deal) with David as I've said a few times, that'll be up to David and the club to announce when that happens, if and when."
