Leeds United

Manchester United were already preparing for the unusual task of facing Leeds United twice within a week, both in Premier League play, and now that job has ...

I wrote about the odd timing of the decision at the link below, and the NBC crew in the United States discussed the change prior to the match. The ball deflects off a number of players challenging in the air, and falls right to Pascal Struijk at the far post who's unmarked, but it surprised him off the deflection and he fails to control the ball off his chest. Leeds press very high and win the ball through debutant Weston McKennie, and Gnonto lets it fly at the top of the penalty area, producing a stunning finish to stun the home crowd just seconds into the match! On a three-on-two break, a Bruno Fernandes cross finds Garnacho in acres of space, and rips it hard and low, with a shot that beats Illan Meslier but beats the post! Man United get Alejandro Garnacho in on goal which forces Illan Meslier off his line to contest, and while he doesn't do enough to halt the chance, he gets just enough of a touch to give his defence an extra moment. The entirety of Old Trafford — both sets of fans — are up in arms, with the home fans wanting a yellow card and the traveling fans believing that's a soft call. Manchester United haven't had a touch of the ball since the restart, and Leeds cash in! It's the substitute Summerviille with the cross after United fail to break out of their own half, and it tips off Raphael Varane and deflects into the back of his own net! It's nothing special, with Diogo Dalot sending in a cross to the head of Rashford, who beats Robin Koch in the air. David de Gea looked to be in the area to make the save but he watches it go by, possibly screened by the wall and late to react. 87th min: Yikes, nervy moment for Leeds as Junior Firpo goes into a 50/50 challenge with Bruno Fernandes and the referee blows the whistle after Fernandes goes flying. Luke Ayling has nothing left in the tank, and can barely challenge Luke Shaw down the left flank as he nearly works a chance for Fred which is blocked.

Before Wednesday’s game against Manchester United the Leeds owner, Andrea Radrizzani, asked fans to be patient as the new manager hunt unfolded. While Orta is an admirer of Mauricio Pochettino, it is thought unlikely that the former Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham manager would relish a relegation skirmish. Hopefully white smoke by tonight or [tomorrow] morning.” Yet by Wednesday morning Radrizzani was more circumspect, posting: “Not yet…….need more time.”

For now, his goal will be to keep his side in the fight for the European places in La Liga. Iraola appeared to be the man that club officials believed could get them out of their mess, with sporting director Victor Orta With the Madrid outfit exceeded all expectations this season, it was inevitable that more established clubs would come calling for head coach Andoni Iraola.

Instead, Leeds held out for five minutes of stoppage time, doing well to kill our momentum on occasion, and will be the more pleased of the two sides with the outcome. His cross found the head of Rashford and the England forward guided the ball over Meslier to bag his 20th goal of the season to give the fans hope. The pair exchanged some brilliant passes in the area before the recently returned Sancho fired a low driven shot past Meslier to bring the Stretford End to its feet and take the scoreline to 2-2. And after that, United refused to lose as Sancho managed to bring the game level. Latching on to a Sabitzer pass, Pellistri got the better of Junior Firpo on the right-hand side and laid the ball off to Diogo Dalot. United responded quickly, with Wout Weghorst receiving the ball from Fernandes on the right wing, the Dutch forward picked out a long weighted pass to Rashford.

Jadon Sancho marked his first Premier League appearance since October with the equaliser as Manchester United fought back to draw with Leeds.

He gets a tame shot away but comes through the tightest of gaps and Meslier has to do better as it nestles into the net! MANCHESTER UNITED 2-2 LEEDS (JADON SANCHO): He hasn't played in the Premier League since October but Sancho has come off the bench to help rescue Manchester United! It's a brilliant header from Rashford as he meets Dalot's cross, grabbing his 20th goal of the season. It looks destined for the top corner until a fully stretched Meslier makes a one-handed stop to push it away. Less than a minute on the clock, they're on the scoresheet! The Red Devils gave themselves a mountain to climb following some slack defending and required a change in personnel and tactics 15 minutes into the second half in order to begin their fightback.

That (new manager appointment) is up to the board. I thought we did enough to win the game. "Of course, in the end we were happy to win a point - but we dropped two points.
