United’s quest for an immediate return to the Premier League rests on the Championship play-offs in which Daniel Farke’s Whites will face the division’s sixth-placed finishers Norwich City in a two-legged semi-final.

For Leeds, the upcoming key dates are all rather determined on what happens next and here we run through them all in chronological order.
