7.30am Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Leeds in pre-season, Van Gaal supports Man City, Cole backs Solskjaer


MANCHESTER UNITED are set to meet Leeds for the first time in eight years.

The War of the Roses derby will resume in pre-season as the two sides face off in Australia.

Meanwhile, Louis Van Gaal has said he will be supporting Manchester City in the Champions League.

The Dutchman commented: “People think Barcelona are the best but they are not.

“Manchester City and Liverpool are more of a team than Barcelona – and Liverpool are more of a team than City.

“In my philosophy, the best team shall win but I hope for City because they play the best football.”

And United legend Andy Cole has backed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for the permanent job.

He commented: “I would give him the job. I have been very impressed. I don’t think I am different from anyone else.

“He has gone in, he’s galvanised the club, they’ve got results at the right time.

“Fair enough, they have lost the last couple, but I just think he’s trying to get Man Utd playing the way Man Utd used to play – attractive football, scoring goals and being entertaining.

“His staff have had a lot to do it with as well. Bringing Mike Phelan back was essential.”
