Leeds United supporters give verdict as injuries force Skubala's hand against Man United

Leeds United supporters have acknowledged the heavy injury problems impacting the squad after the Whites made two changes to take on Manchester United for the second time in four days in the Premier League.

Elland Road plays host to the return fixture between these two bitter rivals after a thrilling 2-2 draw was played out at Old Trafford on Wednesday night. A stunning Willy Gnonto strike was followed by a Raphael Varane own goal early in the second-half before Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho hit back to level the scores.

Led by Michael Skubala on the touchline - alongside Chris Armas and Paco Gallardo - Leeds go in search of their first top-flight victory since November. Erik ten Hag's side will be welcomed with a cauldron of noise by Whites fans as they look to roar their team on to victory and go one step furthe than they managed in midweek.

It may well take another moment of magic from Gnonto but the squad will take confidence from their performance against Man United just a matter of days ago.

The Italian was once again named in the starting XI to take on the Red Devils as the Whites made two changes from Wednesday's match, with Junior Firpo in for Pascal Struijk and Crysencio Summerville replacing Luis Sinisterra.

As news of the starting XI filtered through, supporters took to social media to share their thoughts on the team looking to get Leeds back to winning ways in the Premier League.
