MANCHESTER UNITED capitulated at Elland Road by throwing away a two-goal lead in 59 SECONDS.
After taking a comfortable two-goal lead into the break, Manchester United well and truly imploded in a crazy sequence of events.
First, Rodrigo pulled one back for Leeds in freak circumstances.
The Spaniard’s cross in from the left failed to find a man in white inside the box.
But instead it looped over the head of David De Gea and nestled into the back of the net, much to the surprise of Rodrigo himself.
Leeds then won the ball back immediately from kick off as Adam Forshaw snapped at the heels of Bruno Fernandes.
Forshaw played in ex-Manchester United man Dan James, who put it on a plate for Raphinha to slide in at the back post and score.
VAR did intervene to check Forshaw’s challenge on Fernandes, but the comeback was complete in less than a MINUTE after it was deemed a legal tackle.

Predictably, social media imploded at United’s expense after the remarkable turnaround.
One user wrote: “Typical Manchester United,” with laughing emojis after Raphinha’s goal.
And another joked: “Nothing new hear, same old United.”
In the end the joy was short-lived, as Manchester United went back in front through substitute Fred.
The man sent on after United self-imploded restored United’s lead at a raucous Elland Road.
During the celebrations fellow substitute Anthony Elanga fell to the ground after being struck by an object thrown from the crowd.
Elanga had the last laugh though as his goal two minutes from time effectively sealed a valuable three points for Champions League chasers United.
