Manchester United return to the Premier League after a disappointing loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. 

While Michael Carrick's side put in one of their better performances of this season, a goal inside one minute and Lisandro Martínez's outburst in the post-match interview overshadowed the 90 minutes. 

As it was for Rúben Amorim last term, the trip to Elland Road could be a crucial one in Michael Carrick's future at Old Trafford. 

Amorim was dismissed following his post-match comments against Leeds United about nine months ago, with Carrick replacing him and earning a permanent contract. 

Form this season has not been good enough, but Carrick will be hoping he is given the time to turn it around, though he may not be if he loses on Sunday. 

Manchester United were handed a good rest after their loss in Madrid. They return to action on Sunday, 18 October. 

The game is due to kick off at 14:00 BST at the same time as Bournemouth vs Sunderland and Brighton vs Crystal Palace. 

United travel to Elland Road, where they three of the last five meetings against their rivals. 

Leeds United vs Manchester United will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event (Sky channel 401 and Virgin Media channel 501). 

Pre-match build-up will also be available on Manchester United’s official channel, MUTV. 

The UtdDistrict X account will also cover the fixture, providing pre- and post-match quotes from Carrick and the players, as well as live commentary throughout the 90 minutes.

After missing the trip to Spain, Kobbie Mainoo and Luke Shaw look set to return to the Manchester United squad for Sunday afternoon. 

However, Benjamin Šeško remains out injured, with Michael Carrick unwilling to put a date on his return. 

The Slovenian striker has struggled for fitness since an incident with Ibrahim Konate last season. He missed the entirety of pre-season and has played just 76 minutes in the Premier League this season. 

Noussair Mazraoui could be the next to return from injury, having picked up an issue while on international duty for Morocco. 

On Mazraoui, Carrick said: "Hopefully, we've got Nous back involved with us.

“He's done a little bit of training, so he'll be back around the group, which is a good step in the right direction for us.”

The Manchester United head coach did not speak on Patrick Dorgu, suggesting he remains out for the time being.
