In what is a showdown between two bitter historic rivals, Manchester United will welcome Leeds to Old Trafford on Monday night.
Marking their return from March’s international break here, Michael Carrick’s men will be looking to make another statement and take a giant leap towards booking a lucrative Champions League ticket.
Although Leeds might have punched their FA Cup semi-final spot last time out, the Lilywhites remain at the heart of a relegation scrap and they have struggled to find much Premier League stability over recent times.
With all eyes falling on Old Trafford on Monday night, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Manchester United vs Leeds Bet Builder Tips.
Carrick’s remarkable impact
Although there might have been plenty of raised eyebrows back in January as Carrick made a temporary return to the Old Trafford dugout, Manchester United are clearly relishing life under the ex-Middlesbrough boss.
While the Red Devils might have entered March’s fortnight interval with a frantic 2-2 stalemate away at Bournemouth, the mood in United’s camp certainly remains at a real high.
Getting Carrick’s tenure underway with a stunning 2-0 victory at home against bitter local foes Manchester City, Monday’s hosts have lost just one of their first 10 Premier League appearances since his return.
Sat in the driving seat to book a lucrative Champions League return over the coming weeks, United will be confident of making another statement in the red half of Manchester.
Last seen at Old Trafford securing an eye-catching 3-1 win against Aston Villa, Carrick’s side have won all of their previous five consecutive showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 12-4.

Fernandes’ record-breaking run
Once again finding the net away at Bournemouth prior to March’s international break, Bruno Fernandes has embarked on a sensational run of form this season.
Only further underlining his status as a modern era icon at Old Trafford, the Portuguese international finds his stock at a red-hot high and he is in contention for this year’s PFA Player of the Year award.
Continuing to spearhead United’s Champions League charge, the former Sporting Lisbon youngster has remarkably registered 24 direct goal contributions in his 28 top-flight appearances this season (eight goals, 16 assists).
In fact, the 31-year-old has registered either a goal or assist in 13 of his previous 16 domestic appearances across all fronts and he will certainly play a leading role once again here.
On a similar note, United’s talismanic skipper has also recorded a direct goal contribution in all of his last six consecutive outings at Old Trafford.

A tough task for Farke’s side
Eventually extending on their FA Cup adventure last week as they secured a nail-biting penalty shootout victory away at West Ham, Leeds will be desperate to use that record-breaking victory as a platform to build on.
However, although Daniel Farke’s side might have punched their ticket to Wembley last time out, they remain at the heart of a Premier League relegation scrap.
Heading into March’s international break with consecutive 0-0 stalemates against Brentford and Crystal Palace, the former Norwich boss has not seen his squad register a single win from their previous six Premier League appearances.
With the whole of Yorkshire now firmly looking over their shoulder at the drop zone, Leeds have also put just a single top-flight victory on the board since the middle of January.
Facing what is certainly a real challenge when they travel to their historic rivals on Monday night, Farke’s side have also drawn a blank in all of their last four straight Premier League showdowns.
