Leeds United will go to the Friends Arena to participate in a pre-season match, and their opponent is the Premier League giants Manchester United. Leeds United striker Nionto said that it is a good thing to prepare for the new season and he is looking forward to the team winning the game.

In the 2024/25 Championship season, Leeds United successfully returned to the Premier League with first place under the leadership of coach Daniel Falk, so the friendly match against Manchester United is a good opportunity for Leeds United to train for next season.

"Everything is going well," said the 21-year-old Nionto. "I really feel that everyone is working hard in training and preparing for the upcoming season. It is also very important to get to know the new teammates and understand the coach's plans for the new season. Overall, the atmosphere in the team is great."

"Everyone is in good shape, everyone is happy to be back with the team and ready to work hard. Although training is hard, starting to prepare now will make it easier for us during the season. I will enjoy the training process. Although training such as running is not easy, it is something we must do."

In addition, Manchester United only ranked 15th in the Premier League last season, so Amorim's team is also looking to achieve breakthrough results in the new season.

Nionto continued, “I think this is the best start for a warm-up match, against one of our old rivals and also our first friendly match. We hope to get a good result and make a good start.

"We are playing against Manchester United so it won't be an ordinary game and we know exactly what we need to do. It's a friendly but we want to win the game."
