In a raucous Elland Road atmosphere, Man Utd saw off a second half resurgence from Leeds to pick up a vital three points in their pursuit of a fourth-placed ...

Nobody wants to punish the majority for the actions of a minority, but closing the bottom tier at Elland Road as a punishment would not be too heavy-handed. We must introduce enforced temporary substitutions to allow for full assessments and we must accept that erring on the side of caution is the only viable approach to protect players. When Robin Koch received treatment for the second time and left the field, he appeared to tell the medics that he was having issues with his vision. Bringing on Anthony Elanga and having him and Jadon Sancho on the wings to stretch Leeds also worked a treat. There are obvious ingredients that make for a tremendous watch and this had all of them: grudge rivalry (particularly given the lack of recent history and supporters at matches), two teams who love to attack but have struggled to keep clean sheets, toing and froing of the scoreline, some nonsensical climatic conditions to add an element of total farce. Subbed off on 85′. 5 Bossed the opposing Leeds midfielders but subbed off mid-way through the second half. Did well as Man Utd looked to close out the game though. David De Gea: Saved well from Adam Forshaw in the first half but should have done better for Leeds’ opener and conceded twice. Created a nice chance for Klich to fire on goal in the 74th minute. Junior Firpo (sub, 31′): Failed to track back for United’s second but improved as the game went on. Stranded in no man’s land for Maguire’s opener, beaten too easily by Fred at the near post and megged by Elanga for the fourth.
