Manchester United will face off with Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the game, Ralf Rangnick would hold his pre-match press conference<\/a> on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Rangnick would discuss a number of topics in his press, including recent reports<\/a> regarding a rift between Harry Maguire and Cristiano Ronaldo over the United captaincy.<\/p>\n

Rangnick, though, was quick to dismiss these rumours, stating: \u201cThis is absolutely nonsense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have never spoken to any player about a chance in captaincy, Harry is aware of that and Cristiano. It\u2019s me who decides who is captain and I don\u2019t have to talk to anyone else about that.<\/p>\n

\u201cHarry is our captain and he will stay our captain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rangnick added later in the press conference: \u201cI\u2019m not frustrated because it\u2019s not the truth. Harry is the captain, it\u2019s not an issue and hasn\u2019t been an issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy full focus is preparing the team in training for the next game. I have heard what is written I can only tell you from my personal experience. There were players unhappy until the close of the window because the squad was too big and players weren\u2019t getting game time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe atmosphere in the dressing room is better than it was a few weeks ago for that reason. It\u2019s about performing well, togetherness on the pitch and winning games. They are the things we can influence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Leeds vs Manchester United<\/h2>\n

Manchester United head into the Leeds United game on a fairly mixed run of form.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils did beat Brighton 2-0 in their last outing, which is a solid result considering what a solid team the Seagulls have become under Graham Potter.<\/p>\n

However, before that win, Manchester United would draw with Southampton and Burnley, as well as being knocked out of the FA Cup by Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n

But Leeds United are not exactly in the best of form themselves, and have shipped seven in their last three outings.<\/p>\n
