Manchester United faced Leeds in a pre-season match at the Strawberry Arena. A notable new signing, the Brazilian player, made his debut start under coach Ruben Amorim, demonstrating flashes of potential that justified the significant transfer fee. However, despite the anticipated impact, neither United's new No10 nor the team managed to score against Leeds. The match saw a total of 44 players making their pre-season appearances, with Leeds likely leaving the game feeling more satisfied with the outcome than United.
The Brazilian, starting for the first time under Ruben Amorim on a sunny afternoon at the Swedish capital's Strawberry Arena, showed glimpses of the star power that convinced his new employers to shell out more than 60 million for him.
But United's new No10 and indeed the rest of Amorim's troops ultimately failed to provide a breakthrough against Daniel Farke's spirited Premier League returners.
Leeds will surely come away from Saturday's match the happier of the two sides as a combined total of 44 players got their first 2025-26 pre-season minutes under their belts.
