Manchester United v Leeds live stream: How to watch the Premier League clash from anywhere in the world
Watch a Manchester United v Leeds live stream to enjoy the Saturday lunchtime kick-off in the Premier League
Manchester United v Leeds live stream, BT Sport, Saturday 14 August, 12:30pm BST
Looking for a Manchester United v Leeds live stream live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
Opening weekend fixtures don't come much more highly charged than this grudge match, and it could be extra spicy as Old Trafford welcomes back a capacity crowd.
Having finished as runners-up to another of their arch-rivals, Manchester City, United will no doubt be fancying themselves for a title push in 2021/22 .
And if the visit of their old foes from across the Pennines isn't enough to get them thoroughly pumped up, what will be?
Leeds should be just as fired up themselves, though - not least after taking a 6-2 walloping from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men last season.
Marcelo Bielsa has finally put pen to paper on a new deal (not that it was in any doubt), and the Whites will be looking to build on their impressive return to the top flight after 16 years away, which saw them finish ninth.
All eyes will be on the United line-up to see if Jadon Sancho makes his debut - the England winger completed a £73 million move from Borussia Dortmund last month - but he is likely to start on the bench.
Solskjaer will be without Marcus Rashford - the forward has just had shoulder surgery - and Edinson Cavani, who's been given an extended break after playing at the Copa America with Uruguay earlier in the summer.
Leeds are set to hand a debut to Junior Firpo at left-back, with centre-back Diego Llorente the only confirmed injury absentee.
It's fair to say Bielsa has transformed Leeds' fortunes since arriving three years ago, but can he change this? Leeds haven't won a league game at Old Trafford since February 1981...
Kick-off is at 12:30pm BST and the game is being shown live on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate the UK.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch Steve Bruce’s extra-red face without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee
FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
NordVPN with quality mobile and desktop apps
A cheaper option and almost ExpressVPN's equal when it comes to quality, too. A single subscription covers six connections, so you can use it on mobile, laptop, streaming devices and more, all at the same time.
Surfshark offers a great VPN at a fraction of the price
It's clear to see why Surfshark is top of TechRadar's best cheap VPN table – it combines an excellent product with bargain pricing, starting at £2/$2.50 a month!
