United are on a stunning run of form in front of their own fans having won each of their last 13 home games in all competitions.

Another success for the Reds can be backed at 9/20 (1.45) with bet365 while the draw is offered at 15/4 (4.75).

Leeds have picked up just five points from a possible 30 on the road this term and having parted company with manager Jesse Marsch, the side are clearly at a difficult point of the season.

A win for Leeds is priced at 11/2 (6.50).

Manchester United vs Leeds United first goal scorer odds

Bruno Fernandes broke the deadlock in United's last game at home to Crystal Palace with the Portuguese international scoring a penalty for his fifth league goal of the campaign.

Fernandes is priced at 11/2 (6.50) to open the scoring once more while Marcus Rashford is offered at 10/3 (4.33).

The England forward has six goals in the last seven league matches and is clearly in excellent form.

For the visitors, Patrick Bamford was the last Leeds player to score a goal in the Premier League and he is priced at 10/1 (11.00).

Manchester United vs Leeds United preview

Having begun the season in impressive scoring fashion, the goals have dried up for Leeds with the Elland Road outfit failing to score in three of their last five league games.

An injury to their most prolific forward Rodrigo Moreno has not helped, and the side from Yorkshire could be in for another tough evening at Old Trafford.

In their own stadium this season United have been imperious and since their shock defeat to Brighton at the start of the season, ten Hag's men have conceded just four goals in nine home matches.
