Pascal Struijk absence throws up key Leeds United selection issue for Man United - pick your XI

Leeds United will go head-to-head against fierce rivals Manchester United for the second time in a week on Sunday. The Whites stormed into an early lead at Old Trafford with Wilfried Gnonto firing a low shot past David de Gea at his near post inside 56 seconds.

Michael Skubala inspired his side to produce a spirited performance, and they doubled their advantage after the break. Crysencio Summerville raced onto Gnonto's smart reverse ball, and his low cross was diverted into the net by Man United defender Raphael Varane.

Manchester United produced a second half fightback and earned a 2-2 drew courtesy of goals from Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.
