<p>United have confirmed their squad for the fixture on their official <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/man-utd-travelling-squad-v-leeds-in-stockholm-revealed" target="_blank">club website, </a><a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/man-utd-travelling-squad-v-leeds-in-stockholm-revealed" target="_blank"></a>with both <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/man-utd-travelling-squad-v-leeds-in-stockholm-revealed" target="_blank"></a>summer signings Matheus Cunha and teenager Diego Leon included<a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/man-utd-travelling-squad-v-leeds-in-stockholm-revealed" target="_blank"></a>. Andre Onana and Joshua Zirkzee are absent due to injury, though both are said to be joining up with the squad for their Premier League Summer Series fixtures in the USA.</p><p>Amorim's five exiled players - Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia - were not included in the squad list or even mentioned at all in the announcement. The fixture against Leeds takes place on Saturday at 14:00 BST at the Strawberry Arena in Stockholm.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>United's squad announcement shows the work which still needs to be done this summer. Not only is there the obvious predicament of having five well-paid players on the books <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/manchester-united-legend-rips-into-average-players-insists-red-devils-ruben-amorim/blt665c9333dad2fae1#cs7dd7d8c42098b0f2" target="_blank">whom the manager has no desire of playing,</a> there were also several untried youth-team players included in the squad and an overriding majority of defenders.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In United's 29-player squad for the fixture, just a combined total of eight senior midfielders and forwards were named. This underlines the urgency of making sales to fund new arrivals this summer, as with several big-name players absent the squad is thinner than Amorim would like.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>It is hoped Bryan Mbeumo will be within the ranks by the time the Red Devils begin their Summer Series fixtures on July 27 <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-bryan-mbeumo-join-gbp71m-deal-breakthrough-negotiations-brentford/blt750d5e86dce2f9f0" target="_blank">after a £71m deal with Brentford was agreed</a> for the Cameroon forward. Goalkeepers Emiliano Martinez and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-move-goalkeeper-red-devils-interest-belgian-sensation-senne-lammens-emi-martinez-andre-onana-injury/bltc9b7f97c552e1808" target="_blank">Senne Lammens have also been linked</a> with a move to Old Trafford.</p>
