Manchester United will open the 2021-22 Premier League season against archrivals Leeds United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be satisfied with the club's transfer activity thus far, having secured his top objectives in Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane.
However, the Frenchman has yet to be officially presented and is expected to miss Saturday's opener.
Edinson Cavani returned to England yesterday and will be quarantined.
Mason Greenwood is expected to take Cavani's position, with Anthony Martial likely to play on the left flank.
The Red Devils are coming off a spectacular victory over Everton in their last pre-season friendly.
DON'T MISS:
Leeds has signed Junior Firpo and Kristoffer Klaesson this summer, while Manchester City's Jack Harrison has completed a permanent transfer to Elland Road.
The Whites have played six pre-season games, winning one, drawing two, and losing three, and they will enter this weekend's match on the back of a 2-2 tie with Villarreal.
The results have been underwhelming, but a team's warm-up games should not be taken too seriously.
Marco Bielsa recently signed a one-year contract extension with the club and will be hoping for an upset on Saturday.
Leeds were thrashed 6-2 at Old Trafford in their last visit, and another home triumph is on the cards this Saturday.
