The "White Army" Leeds United participated in a pre-season friendly match against the "Red Devils" Manchester United in Sweden. Although they could only draw 0-0 with Amorim's team in the end, Daniel Falk said that he saw a strong threat from the team's counterattack in the second half and was satisfied with the team's overall performance.

It is worth mentioning that Leeds United won the Championship in the 2024/25 season, so it will participate in the Premier League in the new season in August, and its first round opponent is Everton.

Looking back on the performance against Manchester United, Leeds United coach Daniel Falk said, "I am satisfied with the performance in this game, but I am not particularly excited because I hope the team can win every game. Our focus in the past two weeks has actually been more on conducting more intense physical training to prepare for the new season physically."

“One of our goals for this game was to find a better balance between the first and second halves, with experienced players at the core but also some new players involved to help them get used to the team’s rhythm as quickly as possible. Usually the first friendly is more like a training match within the team or against a local team. But the friendly against Manchester United is a good stage and can start pre-season directly against a high level.”

Daniel Falk also said, "Normally, the intensity of this friendly match is a bit too high, but I think the team adapted well. I was very satisfied with the first half. We had a lot of ball possession time and took the initiative in the game. In the second half, we hoped to have more ball possession, but our counterattack was very threatening."

“We fielded a lot of young players, some of whom were playing at this level for the first time. Overall, keeping a clean sheet was a good start and I am very satisfied with the team’s first game.”

In addition, Leeds United's new signing Bornau said, "As a defender, I am very happy to be able to keep a clean sheet. I think we actually had a chance to lock in the advantage at the beginning of the second half, so now we have to focus on the next game. I have never experienced a friendly match with such an atmosphere, and this is a good debut."

"It was a hard week of training. I played 45 minutes in the first half and then did some running training, so my legs were tired, but it was good and important training."
