Manchester United and Leeds United will not be renewing their rivalry in the Premier League in 2023/24, but the familiar opponents will be launching their preseason campaigns against each other when they meet in Oslo on Wednesday.
Erik ten Hag's side last played when they lost the FA Cup final to Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on June 3, while Leeds return to action for the first time since their 4-1 home defeat to Tottenham Hotspur which relegated them from the top flight on May 28.
Ahead of their first Championship season since 2019/20, Leeds have made Daniel Farke their new manager — and the former Norwich City boss will oversee his first match in charge a week after being appointed.
Farke faces a potentially stiff test against a United squad including England midfielder Mason Mount, who joined for an initial fee of £55 million ($71.1m) from Chelsea on July 5.
Tom Heaton, Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jadon Sancho are among the other high-profile names in Ten Hag's travelling party for a trip to the Norwegian capital, which is home to United's largest overseas fan group.
