Fred seems to be appealing for a red card, but no chance. Shaw hits a great cross into the Leeds box. Fernandes hits a powerful low free kick into the Leeds box. I don't think we did something differently. We have to go again on Sunday." They stuck to the plan today." On Wilfried Gnonto: "I think he is pivotal to the team. We did that really well."

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 ...

1/2— Jamie Gardner (@PAJamieGardner) Yet the report states they are keeping their options open and have no interest in a majority takeover of Manchester United. United only found a need for a new midfielder after Christian Eriksen went down injured for months near the end of January, and managed to bring over an excellent replacement from Bayern Munich. 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. It's quite the ask on his Premier League debut against a very strong opponent in a hostile environment, though. 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! 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. 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 Iller 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. Leeds sit 17th in the Premier League table, without a league win since October and above the relegation zone only on goal difference. While the club has not yet identified his replacement, a managerial shakeup always makes things more unusual for the upcoming opponent, and it will be interesting to see how United handle the task.

The hosts work it to Garnacho on the left, in space to run at the Leeds defence. Leeds win the ball back just inside the Manchester United half, and Gnonto sets off towards goal on the right. He looks to play a first-time ball into Bamford's run into the box, but overhits his pass. The young Argentine can't get a a shot away, but the ball falls to Sabitzer in shooting space on the edge of the box. Harrison feeds it forward to Sinisterra on the right-hand corner of the United penalty area. United finally enjoy a prolonged period in the Leeds half, and create their first chance of the night. From the corner, De Gea makes a bit of a hash of his attempt to come out and punch/claim, and it drops to Bamford. Dalot does well to smother the Italian's attempts to cross, however, and gets it out for a corner. His cut-back is slightly mishit, but falls straight to Fred at the top of the box - but the Brazilian scuffs his strike straight into a wall of white shirts! Koch wins it back inside the United half, and feeds it forward to Gnonto. Receiving the ball on the left, he slips it forward for Shaw's run to the byline, before advancing into the box. The loose ball dropped right to Fred, but he sidefooted it right at Meslier.
