- Here is the Man United vs Leeds United prediction article for Premier League which breaks down form, key players and H2H meetings ahead of the clash.
- The match will be staged at Old Trafford on Monday April 13, 2026.
- Kickoff is at 10:00pm EAT.
After a 24-day break without playing competitive ball, Manchester United return to action on Monday evening when they will host Leeds United at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils have had a quiet international break, having not featured in any European competition and with early exits from both the League and FA Cup, their last outing came on March 20, when they battled to a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth despite being reduced to 10 men after Harry Maguire was sent off.
United spent time training in the Republic of Ireland last week to gear up for this clash, and it will be fascinating to see the team’s tempo on Monday evening, considering it’s been such an incredibly long stretch since their previous game.
So, all Michael Carrick’s lads need to do is hold onto their current spot in third place, as they hope to secure a Champions League berth next season.
They sit third with 55 points, level with Aston Villa in fourth, three clear of fifth-placed Liverpool, and seven above sixth-placed Chelsea.
So far, the ex-United midfielder has won all six league matches at Old Trafford as manager (one in 2021, five this year).
Carrick’s squad have also bagged 23 points (W7 D2 L1) from a possible 30 since he took over on January 17, shortly after Man Utd drew 1-1 at Elland Road in Ruben Amorim’s final match.
On the other hand, Leeds come into this showdown fresh from punching their ticket to the FA Cup semifinals after beating West Ham on post-match penalties, setting up a last-four clash against Chelsea.
The Whites are 15th in the Premier League table, three points outside the relegation zone, boasting a record of seven wins, 12 draws, and 12 defeats from 31 matches.
They have drawn their last two in the Premier League against Crystal Palace and Brentford, while they haven’t tasted victory in England’s top flight since a 3-1 success over Nottingham Forest at the start of February.
Leeds have managed to win only one of their 15 away Premier League games this season, suffering seven defeats in the process and conceding 28 times.
