Manchester United are preparing for their second game of the week against a Leeds side who're still without a manager.
Wednesday saw the Red Devils miss the chance to extend their 13-game winning streak at Old Trafford, as their visitors from Yorkshire earned a well-deserved 2-2 draw. Goals from a resurgent Leeds at the start of each half gave Erik ten Hag 's side a mountain to climb, but United fought back late on with goals from Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.
Now it's time for the Red Devils to make amends at Elland Road, with European football on the horizon. After Sunday's 2pm kick-off, Ten Hag and co travel to Barcelona for the first leg of their mouth-watering Europa League play-off tie, but first United will be hoping for three more points in the Premier League.
Here are five things we spotted in training.
Sancho scores again
Jadon Sancho marked his first Premier League appearance since October with an excellent goal against Leeds. Scoring the all-important equaliser with a cool finish, the 22-year-old talent proved why Erik ten Hag was so keen to send him on a unique individual training programme over the winter to reset his stalling Red Devils career.
He's looked electric in training, as shown by another goal in the small-sided game at Carrington. Finding space on the right flank, Sancho rocketed a first-time shot into beyond Jack Butland and hit the top corner.

Casemiro lagging behind
Although he'll be available for Thursday's trip to Barcelona, Casemiro is still enduring his three-game Premier League ban after being sent off when Crystal Palace came to town last Saturday. Leaving the Red Devils short in midfield due to injuries to Christian Eriksen, Scott McTominay and Donny van de Beek, the Brazilian is still training with his team-mates.
As seen in United's warm-up, however, Casemiro lagged behind when it came to running and showed why pace isn't a key element of his game. Good thing he's superb at plenty of other things.
Pellistri pushing for a start
Facundo Pellistri is a player who'll be hoping to appear at Elland Road, having only made his first Premier League outing on Wednesday - despite being a Red Devil for two-and-a-half years. The Uruguay international has looked sharp in his numerous cameos and also on the training ground.
Up against Brandon Williams in the small-sided match, Pellistri unmercifully skinned the out-of-favour defender and coolly slotted past Tom Heaton from a tight angle. With Antony and Anthony Martial still sidelined, as well as Alejandro Ganracho struggling in midweek, Ten Hag will be pleased to see another attacker pushing for a place in the starting XI.
Lindelof issues Ten Hag reminder
For all the praise Lisandro Martinez has been getting this season for his ability on the ball, it's easy to forget that Victor Lindelof is also adept when it comes to playing out from the back. The Swedish centre-back is nicknamed by fans as the 'Iceman' for his composure, and that was demonstrated at Carrington.
Lindelof got the chance to show Ten Hag exactly what he could do with the ball at his feet when Pellistri came to press him. An elegant turn from the 28-year-old allowed him to play himself out of trouble and drew the opposition out of shape, a type of move which the United manager want his players to implement into their game.
Youngster emerges
With the Red Devils' hectic scheduling showing no signs for stopping, a raft of academy prospects have been given an opportunity to train with the first-team and fill in for injuries. Sam Murray, who joined United from Huddersfield Town at under-15 level, was shown on the ball plenty of times during the small-sided game, looking comfortable in progressing the play.
That's what his game is all about, too, with the club's website describing 18-year-old as "an attacking full-back." Preferring to operate on the left, Murray helped the Red Devils' under-18 side win the FA Youth Cup last season.
He's unlikely to feature at Leeds, though, with Ten Hag knowing how big of a test United face in order to improve on Wednesday's disappointing display and 'learn their lesson'. "We knew before how we were going to play, in a matter of attitude, a matter of style," the Dutchman explained.
"But you have to be ready. You have to read that game, anticipate it right, you have to win the battles. And that is for everyone to take the responsibility and win the individual battles, then you win this game. We are not playing against the fans [at Elland Road]. You are playing the XI on the pitch. We have to be ready - not like today. We have to learn the lesson."
