Patrick Bamford says Leeds United's pre-season clash with Manchester United will be great for the Whites "focus and fitness."

Marcelo Bielsa's side kicked off their preparations for the coming Championship campaign last week with victories over National League North sides York City and Guiseley.

Leeds, though, have made the trip to Australia as part of their centenary pre-season campaign where they will face the Red Devils and Western Sydney Wanderers during a week-long stay.

The Whites take on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men on Wednesday in Perth at the Optus stadium, and Bamford says he and his team-mates are looking forward to the test.

"We're expecting a good run around," he said.
