Elsewhere, David de Gea is in goal and Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw join Dalot in defence.
Sabitzer’s partner in central midfield will be Fred.
Up front, Marcus Rashford will switch to the right, allowing Garnacho to take up the left wing position with Bruno Fernandes in the hole and Wout Weghorst up front.
Tom Heaton, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Tyrell Malacia are on the bench. Aaron Wan-Bissaka may be absent due to illness or injury as his fine recent form would be unlikely to be rewarded with exclusion from the squad.
Kobbie Mainoo and Zidane Iqbal are the youthful midfield substitutes.
Jadon Sancho, Facundo Pellistri and Anthony Elanga are the forward options on the bench for United.
For Leeds, new signings Weston McKennie and Max Wober start.
Their โฌ28 million acquisition Georginio Rutter is on the bench.
Kick off at Old Trafford is at 8pm.
