Leeds United are licking their lips as they prepare to welcome a struggling Manchester United side at Elland Road for a big Premier League clash on Sunday.
Daniel Farke’s side sit comfortably in seventh in the Premier League table, despite their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates last weekend.
However, Manchester United are struggling, and they are even imploding off the pitch after Lisandro Martinez directly trained his guns at the club hierarchy after their 2-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid.
The Red Devils look desperate, disorganised and low on morale, and Martinez’s outburst hasn’t surprised his teammates in the dressing room.

Manchester United squad turns on ex-Leeds star
The Manchester United defender trained his guns directly on former Leeds star Jason Wilcox, Manchester United’s director of football.
He questioned whether he should come under fire after failing to properly improve the squad over the summer transfer window, after the team secured Champions League football last season.
Some suggested Martinez’s outburst could fracture the dressing room, but according to talkSPORT, the senior players back the defender.
Most of the Manchester United squad share his frustration with the club’s recruitment, with Wilcox directly in their firing line.
The squad believe the former Leeds star missed a chance to improve the squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.
Martinez said after the Atletico Madrid defender: “It was really poor, really poor.
“I have to control myself a lot. But sometimes it’s a reflection of our club at the moment. We did it last season, and now we expect more from the top.
“To bring more players, to compete. Other teams bring in many more players. I expect more from everyone… 100 per cent, I expected more from our technical director.
