Manchester United and Leeds United played out a goalless draw in Solna despite some fresh faces from both sides.
The game played out at the pace typical of an early pre-season friendly with little goal-mouth action until later on. Diego León and Matheus Cunha started for Manchester United while Leeds also had a debuting pair with Jaka Bijol and Lukas Nmecha.
Leeds had some bright moments down the right hand side in the first half while Cunha showed some exciting touches for the Red Devils.
Ruben Amorim changed his entire team for the second half while Daniel Farke elected to initially just change eight players. Seb BornauwGabriel Gudmundsson, and Sean Longstaff were the fresh faces for the German's team in the second period.
Former Manchester United youth team player Largie Ramazani had a good chance in the second half only to be thwarted by a save from a fellow Carrington graduate, Tom Heaton – albeit with some age gap between the two.
The best chance of the game fell to Man Utd late on after a corner led to an effort bouncing off the post and Leeds surviving a goalmouth scramble.
After this, Manchester United will go to the USA for their pre-season tour, likely with the addition of Bryan Mbeumo. Meanwhile, Leeds United will take on Villarreal at Elland Road.
