Story summary

Gary Neville predicts Manchester United will win their upcoming match against Leeds United on Saturday at Elland Road. Following Man United's 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League earlier this week, which extended their winless streak to five games across all competitions, Lisandro Martinez made critical comments about the club’s hierarchy and teammates. Neville believes Martinez’s outburst will positively impact the team by galvanizing them into action during a serious team meeting. He notes that if Manchester United plays with the same level of performance they showed against Atletico Madrid, they are likely to win against Leeds despite Leeds being a stronger opponent than Fulham or Tottenham recently.
