Amorim's eagerly awaited squad for Leeds game

Manchester United’s travelling squad for Saturday's first pre-season friendly against Leeds United in Sweden when it is named later will be instructive in terms of Ruben Amorim’s thinking going into the new campaign.

We know who won’t be involved. Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia have been told they can train at Carrington as Amorim and his players are in Stockholm for the game.

There has been no suggestion any other fit senior players will miss the trip.

But the younger players involved will give an indication of who is closest to the senior ranks.

Chido Obi, Tyler Fredricson and Jack Fletcher are among those to be given new numbers.

Paraguay Under-20 international Diego Leon is likely to be involved as he integrates following his summer move from South America. He faces a fascinating battle with highly rated Harry Amass to be the back-up left wing-back.

Then others like Bendito Mantato, Shea Lacey, Jaydan Kamason and Godwill Kukonki caught the eye at the end of last season.
