Man Utd vs Leeds: Predictions, betting tips and best odds

Manchester United take on managerless Leeds on Wednesday evening in a clash of the Roses at Old Trafford.

Manchester United take on managerless Leeds on Wednesday evening in a clash of the Roses at Old Trafford.

Leeds parted company with head coach Jesse Marsch on Monday, with a trio of coaches include ex-United man Chris Armas set to take charge of the Whites at Old Trafford.

Michael Skubala and Paco Gallardo are the other coaches who will lead the club temporarily whilst they search for a replacement.

As per Sky Sports, Leeds are considering Rayo Vallecano boss Andoni Iraola, West Brom's Carlos Corberan and Celtic's Ange Postecoglou to replace Marsch.

But they will not have a new manager in time for their trip to United, who have won 11 of their 13 games in all competitions since the World Cup concluded.

Erik ten Hag's side are in third place in the Premier League, three points behind second-placed Manchester City. And speaking ahead of the Leeds clash, the Dutchman said: "It's about the match of the Roses. It's definitely a big, big game.

"It's part of England. It's big for us. We have Man City, Liverpool, but for our fans this game means so much and our players will know what to do."

Here are some betting tips and odds for the Premier League fixture (all odds via Sky Bet).

Man Utd vs Leeds: Win/draw markets

United are 4/9 favourites to beat Leeds at Old Trafford, with the visitors priced at 11/2. A draw, meanwhile, is 15/4.

Man Utd vs Leeds: Goalscorer odds

When it comes to goalscorers for United, it is difficult to look past Marcus Rashford, who scored in nine consecutive home games prior to the FA Cup fourth round win over Reading last month.

The England international is 11/10 to score at any time in the match, and 4/1 to score first.

United penalty taker Bruno Fernandes is another option, at 6/1 to score first and 15/8 to score anytime.

For Leeds, their second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League this term is young winger Crysensio Summerville, who has netted on four occasions. He is 11/4 to score anytime, and 9/1 to score first.

Another option might be fellow young star Wilfried Gnonto, who is 12/1 to score first and 4/1 to open the scoring in the game.

Man Utd vs Leeds: Other odds

Last season's fixture between the two sides at Old Trafford, which took place on the opening weekend of last season, resulted in an eight-goal thriller, with United winning 6-2.

But the Whites have scored just four goals in their last six Premier League appearances, and although not the side's typical mentality since their top flight return, could elect to put defence first to achieve a result at Old Trafford. Under 2.5 goals is priced up at 11/8.

Meanwhile, Rashford has had 26 shots on target in 21 league this term (via the Premier League official website). The forward to have two or more shots on target against Leeds is priced at evens.
