Manchester United take on the visitors Leeds in the postponed round 8 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 8th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United failed last season - instead of the fight for the title predicted by many, it turned out, with coaching castling, to finish outside the Champions League zone. It is clear that ten Hag was given the task of climbing into the top 4. And by February, we must admit that Eric is very well advanced towards such a goal. It is curious that there is also a bonus: the Mancunians were also able to get into the League Cup final, where they will battle the trophy with Newcastle. The struggle continues in other tournaments. But, most importantly, the "Red Devils" gradually gained a foothold in the group of leaders. This despite the fact that they went on pause in 5th place, and then broke up with Cristiano Ronaldo with a scandal. Yes, there were failures later, and a draw with Crystal Palace, and a defeat against Arsenal. But, having won 5 out of 7 "winter" rounds in the Premier League, Manchester United was able to climb to 3rd place. And he got close enough to the Citizens, who, by the way, were recently beaten in the derby.

Leeds are now quite difficult to analyze. After all, on Monday, management showed the door to a mentor, Jesse Marsh! He came less than a year ago, and at first he was able to achieve the primary goal: at least, he did not allow the relegation of the "peacocks" to the Championship. But in general, there is no obvious progress with him, and everyone is wondering if it was really worth saying goodbye to Marcelo Bielsa a year ago? Nevertheless, they believed in the American to the last, and in January they spent a lot, taking “under him” newcomers - Weber, Rutter, McKenny. Perhaps success at least in the FA Cup helped. But the patience of the bosses snapped, quite suddenly, at the very beginning of February. On the other hand, they lost 0-1 to Premier League newcomers Nottingham Forest. And this is the 7th round in a row without victories in this championship. And now, with 18 points after 20 rounds, the glorious team is on the “borderline”, 17th place in the current standings.
After a long-awaited return to the Premier League, Leeds have only once, in 2021, been able to hold back the Mancunians, playing them 0-0. But the remaining 3 head-to-heads were won by the grand. The bookies do not believe that such a momentum as a manager's resignation will help Leeds.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win.
