Ruben Amorim press conference LIVE - Man United team news plus injury latest and transfer updates

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim will be speaking to the media today for the first time in 2026 as he previews Sunday's trip to Elland Road to face Leeds.

This weekend marks Amorim's first taste of the rivalry between Leeds and United, and he is likely to get a taste of the hostility from the moment he gets off the bus in Yorkshire.
