Leeds United and Manchester United's pre-season friendly in Dublin has yielded a significant financial windfall for both clubs, with former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness estimating that they have made around £2 million from the match. This is not the first time the two teams have met in a pre-season friendly, having also played each other in Stockholm last summer. Wyness believes that the match should have been a yearly occurrence, citing the financial benefits it provides for both clubs. The match was a 1-1 draw, with Joshua Zirkzee and Brenden Aaronson scoring for their respective teams. The game was played in front of over 82,000 fans at Croke Park, with Wyness noting that the location was much friendlier for travel strain on the players compared to playing the game on the other side of the world. Leeds United are currently 14th in the Premier League, 47 points from the top, with a goal difference of -7. They have scored 49 goals and conceded 56 this season, and are 38 points behind leaders Arsenal. The team is currently without Gabriel Gudmundsson and Mateo Joseph due to injury.
