Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is excited to be facing great rivals Leeds United preseason.
The Whites will provide the opposition in Perth, Australia on Wednesday 17 July, in what will be the first meeting between the old adversaries since the Reds ran out 3-0 victors in a League Cup tie at Elland Road in September 2011.
Lindelof is excited about facing the Yorkshire club for the first time, not least because his fellow Sweden defender, Pontus Jansson, has become a cult hero with the Leeds fans since arriving in 2016.
I've never played against them but I've heard about the rivalry with Leeds of course," Lindelof said. Even if it is a pre-season game, I think it's going to be a tough one.
I have a Swedish friend playing there so it's also going to be fun. I'm looking forward to that game."
