Ralf Rangnick admits he didn't know how intense Man United vs Leeds rivalry was until this week but is confident his players can handle the white hot Elland Road atmosphere

Ralf Rangnick believes the Leeds hate mob will bring the best out of Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday.

United haven't faced the Leeds fans in West Yorkshire for more than a decade after last season's clash was played behind closed doors due to the pandemic.

United won on their last visit to Elland Road in the League Cup in September 2011, but last played there in the Premier League 18-and-a-half years ago when Roy Keane scored a late winner.
