Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has included new signings Matheus Cunha and Diego Leon in his squad for Saturday's pre-season contest with Leeds United.

The 20-time English champions will begin their preparations for the new campaign with a clash against Leeds in Sweden, before heading to the United States for a pre-season tour.

Both Cunha and Leon are in line to make their debuts for the Red Devils against Leeds.

However, Bryan Mbeumo's deal has not been completed in time; a £71m package has allegedly now been agreed with Brentford, and the Cameroon international could debut against West Ham United in the first match of their pre-season tour in New Jersey.

Andre Onana is out with a hamstring issue, while Lisandro Martinez is still absent, with the Argentina international recovering from a long-term knee injury.

Joshua Zirkzee has also been left in Manchester, as the Netherlands international is dealing with a small issue.

Cunha, Leon in Man United squad for Leeds clash

Amorim has named a 29-man squad for the clash with Leeds, but Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia and Alejandro Garnacho will not feature, with all five set to leave the club.

A number of youngsters are set to have the chance to impress, with Tyler Fredricson, Reece Munro, Godwill Kukonki, Jack Fletcher, Sekou Kone, Chido Obi, Ethan Williams and Bendito Mantato all included.

In terms of squad numbers, Cunha has been handed the number 10 shirt, while Man United announced on Friday that fellow new signing Leon will be the number 30.

Diogo Dalot (2), Chido Obi (32) and Tyler Fredricson (33) have also changed their jerseys for this season.

Man United will take on Leeds, West Ham, Bournemouth, Everton and Fiorentina during their pre-season programme before starting their 2025-26 Premier League campaign against Arsenal on August 17.
