What is at stake for Leeds United and Manchester United?

Leeds United enter Sunday's fixture looking to bounce back from their first Premier League defeat of the season, having narrowly lost 2-1 to Arsenal on matchday six. 

Meanwhile, Manchester United are in desperate need of a victory after enduring a five-game winless run across all competitions, as well as four Premier League games without a win. 

The pressure is, consequently, building on Michael Carrick's position at the helm, meaning the Man Utd manager may need a victory to extend his time as manager.
