Jayden Bogle doesn’t expect a calm affair when Leeds play Manchester United (Picture: Getty Images) Manchester United face Leeds at Croke Park on Wednesday and the Red Devils have been told that it will not be the friendliest friendly. The rivalry between the two clubs goes back decades and has been one of the most heated in English football. On the field it has been one-sided in Manchester United’s favour for a long time, but Leeds did pick up a memorable win at Old Trafford last season. After a 1-1 draw at Elland Road in January, Leeds won the reverse fixture 2-1 in April, with Noah Okafor scoring both goals for the Yorkshire side.

Jayden Bogle started in that victory for Leeds and he is looking forward to a very competitive pre-season contest in Dublin this week. Asked if anyone can truly call this fixture a friendly, he told LUTV: ‘No, you can’t. ‘Even though it is pre-season, it is not going to be a friendly. We will recover now and then prepare for that one next.’ Leeds have won friendlies this summer against RB Leipzig, Liverpool and Sunderland (Picture: Getty Images) Red Devils boss Michael Carrick was not looking to spice things up so much, just saying he is looking forward to a trip to Ireland. It has been a typically globe-trotting pre-season for United, having played inHelsinki, Trondheim, Solna and Goteborg already this summer and with fixtures in Ireland and Wroclaw in Poland, against AC Milan, to come. ‘I’m looking forward to it,’ Carrick said of the Ireland trip. ‘It’s been, a little bit, different chapters through pre-season and we’ll get everybody together, when we get to Dublin over the next couple of days. ‘It’ll be great, two more games this week and, again, I’m looking forward to seeing the group develop.’ Man Utd drew with PSG on Saturday (Picture: Getty Images) The Red Devils’ last two friendlies have been encouraging, with a win over Atletico Madrid and a 1-1 draw against European champions PSG. Marcus Rashford has joined up with the rest of the Manchester United squad in Ireland, as his reintegration at the club continues. The England winger has been handed a new squad number – 14 – and could feature against Leeds on Wednesday. Marcus Rashford is back after a season on loan at Barcelona (Picture: Getty Images) Michael Carrick has already confirmed that Rashford will be part of the squad for their final two pre-season friendlies, saying: ‘We have a full squad next week in Dublin. ‘We fly straight there and meet Leeds on Wednesday. We have a few days in Dublin where we have the whole squad, including Marcus, Kobbie [Mainoo] and Lisandro [Martinez]. ‘I’ve played with him [Rashford].

Man City star Foden was a surprise omission from Thomas Tuchel's squad for this summer's tournament, and it appears that snub also caught his partner by surprise.
Trevoh Chalobah has posted an emotional farewell to Chelsea on social media after his move to Como was confirmed on Sunday, in a deal worth more than £30m. The 27-year-old England international played 151 matches for the club he joined as as nine-year-old. "After 18 years, it's time to say goodbye to Chelsea," he wrote alongside a montage of his journey with the Blues.
Marcus Rashford had worn the iconic Man Utd No.10 shirt from 2018 to 2025 (Photo: Getty) Marcus Rashford has been handed a new shirt number upon his return to Manchester United, which may provide some insight into his future at the club. It was thought that Rashford had already played his final United game long ago after he frozen out of his boyhood club by Ruben Amorim in December 2024. Following loan spells at Aston Villa and Barcelona, it was expected that the England forward would join the Spanish giants permanently, but they opted not to trigger his £26million buyout clause. That has left the 29-year-old in transfer limbo, with few clubs showing interest in him, while United have been reportedly reluctant to give him another shot.

Following his exploits at the World Cup, Rashford finally returned to training on Sunday, linking up with the Red Devils for the first-time in over 18 months and was pictured in a jubilant mood, taking photos with fans and signing autographs. Michael Carrick has confirmed that Rashford will be part of the squad for their final two pre-season friendlies, saying: ‘We have a full squad next week in Dublin. ‘We fly straight there and meet Leeds on Wednesday.

The forward is unable to reclaim his prized No.10 shirt as it was given to Matheus Cunha upon his arrival from Wolves last summer. Rashford wore the No.14 while on loan at Barcelona (Photo: Getty) Even his old squad numbers, 19 and 39, are occupied by new players, namely Bryan Mbeumo and Tyler Fletcher. But, according to Fabrizio Romano, Rashford will now don the No.14, the shirt number he wore at Barcelona and one typically given to an important first-team member. At United, the No.14 shirt has previously been worn by the likes of Christian Eriksen, Jesse Lingard and Javier Hernandez. It is said United chose it in order to send a message of trust to the player and a sign that he will be reintegrated at Old Trafford, unless a deal can be struck with another club. Teams in Turkey and Saudi Arabia have approached Rashford, but he wants to play for a top European side in order to remain in the England squad. There have been links with the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham butit seems he will back playing for his boyhood club this season. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Alejandro Garnacho has joined Aston Villa on loan from Chelsea (Photo: Getty) Roma have reportedly added another Chelsea star to their transfer shortlist after failing to sign Alejandro Garnacho earlier this summer. The Serie A club had been the favourites to land Garnacho after Chelsea put the winger up for sale less than a year after his high-profile transfer from Manchester United. But in the end it was Aston Villa who signed the Argentina international on a loan deal, with the move set to become permanent should ‘certain criteria be met’. Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini is still desperate to sign a left-sided attacker and are looking to get a deal done quickly, with the Italian side kicking-off their season against Fiorentina on August 24. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Reports from Italy, via The Sun, claim that RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa and Lyon’s Malick Fofana are on their shortlist, as is Jamie Gittens. Like Garnacho, Gittens only moved to Stamford Bridge last summer in a deal worth £52million from Borussia Dortmund and like Garnacho, he endured a very difficult debut season. The England youth international scored just one goal and made five assists in 27 appearances across all competitions, before sitting out the second-half of the season with a hamstring injury. Jamie Gittens scored just one goal in his debut season at Chelsea (Photo: Getty) It was reported in June that Chelsea were willing to be patient with Gittens but that was before Xabi Alonso splashed a record £117m on left-sided attacker Morgan Rogers. The 22-year-old was an unused substitute in Saturday’s 3-0 pre-season win over AC Milan and with no European football this season, Gittens may struggle for game time. Roma do not have much transfer funds to play with, so it is expected they would seek a loan move for the winger but it remains to be seen whether Alonso would sanction his departure. Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini is desperate to sign a new left winger (Photo: Getty) Gittens is not among the 11 players that Chelsea are reportedly trying to sell before the transfer window closes and would be the only back-up option to Rogers should Pedro Neto and Mykhailo Mudryk depart. The Blues have two more friendlies to play before they begin the season with a trip to west London rivals Fulham on August 24. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
