Manchester United finally return to Premier League action against Leeds tonight. United have waited 24 days to play a competitive fixture again after drawing against Bournemouth before the international break.
During the break, Michael Carrick oversaw a training camp in the Republic of Ireland. Carrick hopes the trip will help United to end the Premier League campaign strongly and secure Champions League football.
United are third in the table, putting them in a superb position to return to Europe's elite competition with seven games remaining. Leeds are scrapping to retain their top-flight status, but they will visit Old Trafford having not been beaten in their last four matches in all competitions.

Regarding the team news, Harry Maguire is suspended after receiving a red card against Bournemouth, but Lisandro Martinez is set to return to the squad after recovering from an injury.
This is how our writers think United should line up:

Maguire could also miss the trip to Chelsea, depending on the outcome of the FA's charge for allegedly acting in an improper manner towards the fourth official against Bournemouth.
Martinez returned to full training during the trip to Ireland, so he should be fit enough to start. Aside from an enforced one with Maguire missing out, the only change I would make from the team fielded before the break would be bringing in Sesko at the expense of Amad.
Mbeumo, Sesko and Cunha are my early idea of the strongest attack for next season. Sesko has shown the quality to become a 20-goal-per-season striker, but he needs to be trusted to start to fulfil that potential.

With Maguire suspended, Martinez will need to step in to partner Yoro in defence. If fit enough, the Argentine has to take his chance. Dalot's absence from the Dublin training camp suggests he might not be risked tonight so Mazraoui is the logical alternative.
The central midfielders pick themselves and should remain the same for the rest of this season. I would opt for Mbeumo as the lone centre-forward this evening, solely because Daniel Farke insisted they will try to take the game to United.
His style is better suited to games against teams that leave gaps when attacking. Sesko off the bench has worked well for United this season so expect him to have a major say if called upon.

Martinez's return to training is a timely boost given Maguire's suspension. The Argentina international will be thrown straight back into the team alongside Yoro at centre-back.
The rest of the team almost picks itself, but the big question ahead of team news dropping just over an hour before kick off will be who leads the line?
Mbeumo gets the nod for me, but Sesko could have a big part to play off the bench given the problems Joshua Zirkzee causes Leeds in the reverse fixture when Daniel Farke's side were given something different to think about in the second half.
