Mason Mount made his Manchester United debut as Erik ten Hag’s side began their pre-season schedule with a 2-0 win against Leeds in Oslo. The 24-year-old, who made a £55million move from Chelsea last month, played the first 45 minutes and impressed in flashes during a quiet first period. Ten Hag’s starting XI was a combination of youth and experience, with Lisandro Martinez, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho joined by young prospects such as Kobbie Mainoo and Omari Forson. Tributes were paid before kick off to former Scotland, Manchester United and Leeds defender Gordon McQueen, who died aged 70 last month following his battle with dementia. Mount created a big opening in the 10th minute, passing in behind for Amad Diallo to tee up Hannibal Mejbri but the Tunisian was denied by a smart save from Leeds goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson. Moments later the England midfielder was involved again, winning the ball back before attempting a delicate chip over Klaesson from 25 yards which landed on the roof of the net. “I am sure he will contribute to the success of Manchester United because he is a quality player,” Ten Hag told MUTV before kick-off. “In midfield you have to attack but you also have to defend. He will bring dynamic into our game. We need more dynamic in that midfield department.” Daniel Farke took charge of his first game as manager of Leeds, who are preparing for life back in the Championship following relegation last season. The breakthrough came on 67 minutes as 18-year-old Norwegian Isak Hansen-Aaroen played in Frenchman Noam Emeran who slid it past Dani van den Heuvel. Emeran then turned provider for Joe Hugill to seal the win 10 minutes from time. The Red Devils’ pre-season continues with a clash against Lyon in Edinburgh next Wednesday before they head to the USA for matches against Arsenal, Wrexham, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

KISSIMMEE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 23, 2023--

The fight for Premier League survival reaches its climax on Sunday with three clubs still scrapping for their top-flight lives. Two of Everton, Leicester and Leeds will join already-relegated Southampton in the Sky Bet Championship next season on what is set to be a dramatic final day of the campaign. Here, the PA news agency takes a look at what each club needs to happen if they are to avoid the drop. Everton Opposition: Bournemouth (h) Position: 17th Points: 33 Goal difference: -24 The equation is simple for the Toffees: win and their fears are over regardless of what happens elsewhere. Anything less could prove fatal. A draw would open the door for Leicester to leapfrog them on goal difference with a win, while Leeds could also overhaul them on goals scored with victory by three or more. However, Everton would be safe even in defeat if both the Foxes and Leeds failed to win. Leicester Opposition: West Ham (h) Position: 18th Points: 31 Goal difference: -18 Victory is the only option for Dean Smith’s men and even then, it might not prove enough. Leicester also need Everton not to win – defeat for the Toffees would keep them up by a point, while a draw at Goodison would edge City to safety on goal difference. Leeds Opposition: Tottenham (h) Position: 19th Points: 31 Goal difference: -27 Like the Foxes, Leeds must win and even then, they would have to keep their fingers crossed that both Everton and Leicester did not. In the event that Everton drew, they would need to make up three clear goals to leapfrog them. At the same time, Sam Allardyce’s men would have to achieve an improbable goal swing – they head into the weekend nine worse off – to edge past Leicester if they managed to beat West Ham.
