Leeds United winger Raphinha is dropped by Marcelo Bielsa for Sunday afternoon's Premier League showdown with Manchester United at Elland Road.

Leeds United winger Raphinha has been dropped by Marcelo Bielsa for Sunday afternoon's Premier League showdown with Manchester United at Elland Road.

The 25-year-old was surprisingly substituted at half time in their 3-0 defeat against Everton last weekend, and now the Brazilian will begin as a substitute with Adam Forshaw taking his place in the first XI.

Forshaw's inclusion will see him begin in centre-midfield alongside Robin Koch and Mateusz Klich, the latter operating in a more advanced role.


Despite coming off in the eighth minute against Everton with a knock, Stuart Dallas starts at left-back, joining Diego Llorente, Pascal Struijk and Luke Ayling in the back four, shielding goalkeeper Illan Meslier.

Former Man United winger Daniel James, who has scored three goals in his last five league games, will continue in attack alongside Rodrigo and Jack Harrison.

Left-back Junior Firpo returns to the matchday squad for the first time in over a month and joins Raphinha, Charlie Cresswell, Jamie Shackleton, Lewis Bate, Tyler Roberts, Nohan Kenneh and Joe Glehardt on the bench.
