Erik ten Haag is doing a great job since taking over the helm of the club from "Old Trafford". The Dutchman took with him, when he left Ajax, the champion "pelzer" and already in the first season he transferred it to his new club, Manchester United. The Red Devils shine again, they look like that team from Ferguson's time and what makes the fans happy the most is that their "pet" has become competitive again in the fight for trophies on all fronts after a long time. They are currently third in the Premier League with 42 points on their account, eight less than the current leader, Arsenal, who have a game less.

Leeds, who last season barely managed to secure a place among the best clubs in England with only three points above the relegation zone, roses are not blooming this season either. It is interesting that the club management, despite the very bad results, still trusts the American Jesse Marsch, who is definitely not leading the team in the right way. It should be noted that The Peacocks have one of the youngest squads in the Premier League, so they shouldn't be blamed much. However, their season is going in the wrong direction, as they have the same number of points won as the first team below the line.

From the viewpoint of tradition, a "favorite customer" arrives at Old Trafford on Wednesday in the form of Leeds United. In the previous six meetings, The Peacocks only managed to avoid defeat once (a draw), while the other five ended in favor of Manchester and each convincingly, like both from the last campaign, 5-1 and 4-2.

Erik ten Hag needed very little time to stack the dice, bring new energy and finally return the championship mentality to the club that was affected by the trophy drought in recent years. The Red Devils will, in fact, have the opportunity to open the long chilled champagne in the EFL Cup, where they scheduled the final with Newcastle.

By the way, it should be kept in mind that Manchester looks unstoppable on its "Theater of Dreams" which they have turned into a real "impregnable fortress" in recent months. Not only did they "build" an impressive streak of 13 consecutive victories, but they scored 33 goals in that period - close to three goals per game.

If some mediocre teams proved to be a "big bite" for Leeds, then against Manchester they have nothing to hope for. Indeed, The Peacocks have not smelled three points since early November (vs Bournemouth - 4-3), and since then they have tied seven games without success, three draws and four defeats.

Leeds' away record is, to put it mildly, disastrous. Moreover, they have suffered seven defeats from their previous nine visits in the Premier League, so they will have to look elsewhere for a chance for new points, because we opinion that they have absolutely no chance against the high-flying The Red Devils who are hungry for victories.
