As Manchester United prepare to host Leeds United at Old Trafford for the first time in nearly two decades of top-flight football, they do so carrying a quiet burden — a home record that has become difficult to explain and a squad stretched thin by injury and circumstance. Edinson Cavani, the experienced Uruguayan striker who might otherwise anchor their attack, faces both a physical setback and a looming institutional sanction over a cultural misunderstanding that has taken on a life of its own. These are the kinds of moments that test not just tactics, but a club's sense of itself.
