Leeds United have a long and gruelling campaign ahead of them in the battle to seal promotion to the Premier League but some fans are already looking ahead to next summer.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have impressed this season, raising optimism about the promotion challenge, but there is still work to be done after a 4-1 defeat against West Brom prior to the international break sent the Peacocks sliding down the table.
Regardless of whether Leeds return to the top-flight or not, it seems that fans will have the opportunity to see their club clash with one of English football’s giants as it has been reported that a pre-season clash in Australia will be played against Manchester United.
It is certainly a different sort of experience for supporters who saw their side make a bizarre trip to Myanmar at the end of the last campaign and many expressed their delight on social media.
We have gathered some of their reactions below.
Biggest team in the world v Man U
