MUN vs LU Dream11 Team Prediction Manchester United vs Leeds United Club English Premier League Live Score August 14

MUN vs LU Dream11: Manchester United kickstart their premier league campaign against Leeds United at home. The Red Devils finished second last time and hope to go one better now that they have made some key signings over the summer. They had a decent pre-season, blowing away Everton 4-0 in the last game.

MUN vs LU Dream11 Team Prediction

Leeds was the brightest of the promoted sides last year. Their slick passing and high-energy game troubled the best teams as they finished in the top half of the table. Marcelo Bielsa’s side heads into the opening game after an underwhelming pre-season where they won just one of their five games.

Expected Changes and Strategy: I Meslier could start between the posts. L Ayling, L Cooper, P Struijk, S Dallas could line up in the back four. R Koch, M Klich, R Moreno could occupy the midfield slots. J Harrison and Raphina will operate out wide, with P Bamford leading the lines.

Leeds United Starting XI (Likely)

Illan Meslier, Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk, Stuart Dallas, Robin Koch, Mateusz Klich, Raphinha, Rodrigo Moreno, Jack Harrison, Patrick Bamford.

Captain Options 

Bruno Fernandes is the standout captain kick. The Portuguese maestro is at the heart of United’s attacking play. He had 18 goals and 14 assists last season. He is also on a lot of set pieces including penalties. In the last game versus Everton, he scored a quality free kick.

Anthony Martial is a player who divides opinion. In the absence of Rashford and Edinson Cavani, he will be leading the lines. He had four goals and seven assists from 21 appearances last year.

Differential Picks

Raphinha could be an interesting differential choice. The Brazilian winger creates a lot of big chances for his teammates. He had six goals and ten assists last season from 31 appearances.
