The Italian club have agreed to play in Leeds during the final weekend before the start of United’s Championship season.

Leeds traditionally play their last friendly of the summer at home on the final Saturday before the campaign begins and Atalanta will provide the strongest opposition among the teams lined up to meet Garry Monk’s side.
