With eight days to go before Manchester United host Leeds at Old Trafford, the team selection conversation is already beginning. Based on current form and availability, here is the most likely starting XI. Goalkeeper: Tom Heaton or whoever the interim setup trusts with the gloves — Vitek remains at Bristol City. Defence: Yoro if fit, De Ligt or Martinez alongside him. Walker-Peters at right-back, Luke Shaw if available at left-back. Midfield: Kobbie Mainoo is the anchor — non-negotiable. Mason Mount alongside if his fitness holds. Bruno Fernandes operating in the advanced role behind the striker. Attack: Alejandro Garnacho on the left, Antony or a younger option on the right. Rasmus Hojlund up front if passed fit. The most uncertain areas: right-back cover, the second striker option if Hojlund is absent, and who fills the wide-right role without a natural candidate. Let it be said plainly: United's strongest available XI against Leeds should be good enough to win at Old Trafford. The squad, when assembled and motivated, has that quality. The job of whoever is in the dugout is to get that motivation onto the pitch. 📅 Mon 13 Apr, 19:00 UTC | Old Trafford 🏆 GW30 | The Lineup Question
