Manchester United will make the short trip across the Pennines to face Leeds United on Sunday afternoon, in a match that could see off another United manager.
Last season, Ruben Amorim's final game in charge of the Red Devils came at Elland Road, and if the Whites come out on top on Sunday, there is every chance that Michael Carrick will be relieved of his duties, too.
For match-going United fans, Leeds away is one of the very biggest of the season. The two clubs have a deep-rooted rivalry that goes back more than 50 years, but just how much will the trip cost the travelling Reds? Below, FootballGroundGuide takes a look.
| Expense | Est. Cost |
|---|---|
| Match ticket | £30 |
| Return train: Manchester–Leeds | £20–35 |
| Local transport to/from stations and stadium | £15 |
| Food and snacks | £30 |
| Drinks | £30 |
| Total | £140 |
Leeds vs Man United away day cost breakdown
Despite the ribbing, most matchgoing Manchester United fans are from Manchester, so the journey to Leeds is a relatively short one on Sunday. With the match kicking off at 14:00 UK time, there is no need for any fans to stay over, either, so accomodation does not need to be factored in.
Ticket
The match ticket is priced at £30. All away tickets in the Premier League are fixed at this price.
Travel
Most United fans will buy return tickets from one of the Manchester railway stations to Leeds. Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Victoria both have direct services to Leeds, with return tickets varying between £20 and £35, depending on how quickly you want to get there.
Alternative ways to get to Elland Road include driving, but the current value of petrol and diesel means that this option makes little sense unless you have an electric car or if you are car sharing and splitting the fuel cost.
There are also official and unofficial supporter coaches making the trip to Leeds. These are also priced at around the £25-£35 mark.
Fans also need to consider the cost of getting from Leeds station to Elland Road if taking the train, or parking fees if driving. The only two options from Leeds station to Elland Road are walking or a taxi (around £15). Parking will also cost anywhere between £10 and £15.
Food/drink
As the match starts at 14:00, there isn't going to be loads of time for pre-match food and drink, which is why we've said £30 for lunch somewhere and £30 for five or six pints, maximum. This also covers any food/drink bought at Elland Road.
