While Leeds are yet to arrive in Perth, they have spent the last two days enjoying Queensland, with their 26-man squad having touched down in Australia on Tuesday.

On Wednesday night the Mighty Whites unveiled their new home kit for the 2022/23 Premier League season and will wear it for the first time on Thursday night in their friendly against the Brisbane Roar.The shirt pays homage to the 50th Anniversary of Leeds’ 1972 FA Cup winning side with the iconic LUFC script woven into the fabric of the shirt.

Manchester United has touched down in Melbourne ahead of their friendly against Melbourne Victory at the MCG on Friday night.

The Red Devils started their pre-season tour in style by beating Liverpool 4-0 on Tuesday night. Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellistri all scored for Untied at Rajamangala Stadium, Thailand’s national stadium in Bangkok. New signing Tyrell Malacia made his first appearance after completing a move from Feyenoord last week.

Manchester United also debuted their new 2022/23 home kit in the game against Liverpool. The design features an eye-catching collar and is reminiscent of the iconic home shirt worn by United during their Treble season of 1999/2000.

Similar to the lines on the away kit, the home shirt features a “graffiti-style” design, complimented by a white trim on the sleeves and neck.

Before heading off, Villa unveiled their 2022/23 Home Kit, which they wore for the first time in the win over Walsall.
