In particular, the Whites lost to Newcastle (0-1), tied against Aston Villa (3-3), and failed the away game against Everton on February 12 (3-0).

Ralf Rangnick's team is ranked fourth with 43 points. Manchester United has 12 victories, seven draws, and six defeats after 25 matches. The Red Devils also give reasons for criticism to their fans. They were unexpectedly eliminated from the FA Cup by Middlesbrough (1-1 and 7-8 on penalties) and barely earned points in the Premier League. The victory over West Ham (1-0) was obtained in the 93rd minute, and the games with Burnley and Southampton ended in 1-1 draws. On February 15, the Mancunians defeated Brighton at home (2-0). The match again turned out to be difficult. The hosts gained a minimal advantage after the break thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's goal and the red card of Brighton defender Lewis Dunk. And in the last seconds of the game, Bruno Fernandes scored the second goal after a counterattack.
These bitter rivals have already competed in the current championship. The match of the 1st round at Old Trafford ended in a landslide victory for the hosts with a score of 5-1. Bruno Fernandes, who scored a hat-trick, and Paul Pogba, who made four assists, were the heroes of that game. Formally, Manchester United can be considered the favorite of the upcoming match, but Rangnick's men are far from ideal on foreign pitches. In the last four away matches, the Red Devils gained only one victory. In addition, they will play against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League next Wednesday, and this will be taken into account by the coaching staff. It will be interesting to bet on the production of the home team. Despite lineup losses, Leeds scores regularly at Elland Road. The Peacocks upset their opponents in eight out of nine home rounds. In four previous matches, the Mancunians did not concede only from Brighton, although the Seagulls also had chances to upset David De Gea.
Prediction for the match: Leeds to score over 1.0 goal
