Leeds United will be without a manager when they travel to face fierce rivals Manchester United on Wednesday.

The task is massive for the visitors with the Red Devils winning each of their last 13 games at Old Trafford as they continue to edge ever closer to the club record run of 20 from the famous Sir Alex Ferguson days.

Casmiro will be missing after his red card in the win over Fulham which means Erik ten Hag’s men will go in search of that 50th win over Leeds without their midfield dynamo.

A win will move them level on points with Manchester City, who lost to Spurs in London on Sunday.

Leeds’ struggles, the latest was a 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest, saw the club sack Jesse Marsch.

This came after Leeds fans made their opinions perfectly clear at full-time by serenading their American boss with a chant of ‘Jesse, time to go’.

Leeds have just two wins in 17 Premier League games (D5, L10).

Marcus Rashford is looking to become the first United player since Wayne Rooney in April 2012 to score in six consecutive home league games should he net a first-ever goal against Leeds.

Leeds have scored exactly once in five of the last six away games at Old Trafford.
