Man Utd team news
A 26-man squad has travelled to Norway, including new signing Mason Mount and the fit-again Lisandro Martinez, who has overcome a foot injury.
Erik ten Hag's group is a young one, with plenty of academy gems set to receive minutes.
Man Utd predicted lineup vs Leeds
(4-2-3-1): Heaton; Wan-Bissaka, Varane, Fish, Fernandez; Fred, Mainoo; Amad, Hansen-Aaroen; Sancho; Hugill
Leeds team news
Stuart Dallas, Tyler Adams, Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra are still not fit and are reported to have been joined on the treatment table by Marc Roca and Junior Firpo.
The international players in the squad have been given more time off so Daniel Farke may also go young for this one.

Man Utd vs Leeds score prediction
The score is obviously the least important part of any pre-season friendly, which are always impossible to predict anyway. That being said, this could be an entertaining game between two young sides looking to make statements as the summer kicks off.
Man Utd are the favourites on paper but are taking an incredibly youthful squad which should level the playing field somewhat, and Ten Hag's desire to keep everyone fresh means the Red Devils will largely look unrecognisable compared to last season.
Much will depend on which senior players are given more than a casual run-out, but expect Man Utd to come out on top.
