Manchester United have failed to advance to second place in the Premier League alongside their compatriot City. A catch-up match with Leeds United at home ended 2-2.
Leeds, which battled relegation on Sunday and fired head coach Jesse Marsch, went ahead 2-0 for a long time until Erik ten Hag’s side responded.
Start, run, finish
He played less than a minute and made 19-year-old Wilfried Gnonto 1-0 for Leeds. A setback for Ten Hag, who had to stay without Carlos Casemiro because of a red card and couldn’t trust Christian Eriksen, who had been unable to play for months with an ankle injury.
Shortly after the break, United defender Raphaël Varane scored an own goal, giving Leeds a 2-0 lead. This was the record, it was mentally tough. United had to work hard to push the equalizer. This happened after Marcus Rashford’s spectacular shot at the 62nd minute after the break.
Eight minutes later, 22-year-old Jaden Sancho, who had been struggling physically and mentally recently, brought United back into the game. 2-2 Finally a smile at the Ten Witch.
United also showed character after the equalizing goal and repeatedly brought the score dangerously close to 3-2. But Leeds showed his teeth in the penalty area and didn’t move an inch.
The two sides will meet again in the league on Sunday, then again in Leeds.
