Where is Strawberry Arena? Location and capacity as Manchester United vs Leeds date confirmed
Leeds United will take on Manchester United in the Strawberry Arena this summer but where is it?
The season is far from over as Leeds United still have eight massive fixtures left in the Championship.
Daniel Farke’s side have won just one in their last four matches, which has seen the title race with Sheffield United and Burnley get even tighter.
Leeds have thrown away their advantage at the top of the Championship table, with The Blades now sitting on 80 points alongside them and Burnley just two behind.
The international break has come at a good time for Leeds ahead of an intense run-in but, with promotion still far from secure, the club has begun plans for the summer.
Leeds have confirmed they will be facing fierce rivals Manchester United in a not-so-friendly in pre-season but it’s not taking place in England.
Here is everything you need to know about the Strawberry Arena.
