  • Goodnight from Old Trafford

    That brings an end to our coverage from what an excellent game between two sides who will do it all again in Yorkshire on Sunday.

    Despite leading 2-0 and being just 30 minutes away from their first EVER Premier League victory at Old Trafford, it’s a really useful point from Leeds.

    Meanwhile, United’s faint title hopes are surely all over with Arsenal now seven points ahead with two games in hand.

    And with Erik ten Hag’s side now just four points above fifth place Tottenham, maybe their short-term focus will be on securing a place in the top four.

    Goodnight.

  • Sancho makes his mark

    It’s been a tough couple of months for Jadon Sancho, but he really looked desperate to make an impression tonight.

    And he did exactly that when he fired home the equaliser, his first Premier League goal since the beginning of September.

    You could see how much it meant to him too.

  • FT. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    Here are the stats from an extremely entertaining game.

    Erik ten Hag’s side dominated much of the game as the numbers below show, but Leeds put in a huge shift and deserved a point at least.

    But the result and performance should give Leeds huge belief and confidence ahead of the game at Elland Road on Sunday.

  • FT. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    It’s all over and that brings to an end a pulsating second half.

    Leeds were in dreamland when they led 2-0 thanks to Gnonto’s early strike and an own goal from Varane.

    But United battled back and claim a point following quickfire goals from Rashford and Sancho.

    United stay two points behind Manchester City, while Leeds climb above West Ham and into 16th.

  • 90+3. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    Nervy moments later on for Leeds as Sancho does well again and it once again falls for Fred, but he scuffs his effort and the away side survive.

    We’re into the final two minutes at Old Trafford.

  • 90+1. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    Another chance for Fred as the ball falls nicely for him 25 yards out but his effort lacks power and is easy for Meslier.

  • 90. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    Both teams going all out for the winner.

    Sancho does well down the left and cuts back for Fred but he doesn’t get hold of the shot and it’s blocked.

    Leeds make a double change with McKennie and Gnonto replaced by Greenwood and Joseph.

    We’re going to have another five minutes of added time.

  • 87. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    Bruno wins a free-kick in a dangerous position on the right following a challenge from Firpo.

    The Portugal star picks himself up to take the delivery but Rashford can’t get enough contact at the near-post and Meslier makes the save.

  • 86. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    Best chance for some time.

    Shaw sends over a cross and Bruno has a free header, but he just can’t reach it and nods wide.

  • 85. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    United continue to search for a winner, but the home side are creating very little in these latter stages.

  • 81. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    Nearly something out of nothing for Bruno, who eventually finds space but can only fire over.

    Double change for United with Dalot and Sabitzer replaced by Malacia and Lindelof.

  • 80. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    Despite generally being on the back foot for the last 20 minutes or so, Leeds are still looking for a winner.

    Gnonto gets away from Sabitzer and is taken down with the United midfielder booked.

  • 76. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    United are pouring forward and Firpo is booked for pulling down Rashford when he’s away.

    But they have less than 15 minutes to turn one point into three and complete the turnaround.

    And they almost do exactly that as Bruno crosses for Varane, whose header is pushed over by Meslier.

  • 73. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    Gnonto still trying to go forward, but United are on top and the roof has been raised at Old Trafford.

    The crowd are up and there only appears to be one winner…

  • 70. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

    United are level.

    Shaw and Sancho combine well and the ball falls for the latter inside the box and he takes a touch before curling into the far corner.

    It’s a tidy finish from Sancho, but it’s poor goalkeeping from Meslier.

  • 70. Manchester United 2-2 Leeds

  • 67. Manchester United 1-2 Leeds

    United are pushing to make it 2-2, but Leeds are still going for a third.

    This promises to be an action-packed final 20 or so minutes.

  • 62. Manchester United 1-2 Leeds

    Game on!

    Dalot sends over a fine cross from the right and Rashford climbs highest to plant a superb header past Meslier.

    15 goals in his last 20 games for Rashford, who’s also scored in six consecutive Premier League games at Old Trafford.

    Meanwhile, Harrison and Bamford are replaced by Aaronson and Rutter.

    And Aaronson almost makes an immediate impact as his curling free-kick crashes off the post.

  • 62. Manchester United 1-2 Leeds

  • 61. Manchester United 0-2 Leeds

    United are on top and have improved since the subs but they’re not getting much change out of Leeds.

    The away side are less than 30 minutes away from surely one of their best ever Premier League results.

  • 58. Manchester United 0-2 Leeds

    Double change for United as Ten Hag opts to introduce Pellistri, who makes his Premier League debut, and Sancho.

    Garnacho and Weghorst are the men replaced.

  • 55. Manchester United 0-2 Leeds

    Leeds are definitely not settling for this and are continuing to come forward in numbers.

    Up the other end, Rashford drags a shot wide, much to the enjoyment of the travelling faithful.

    Meanwhile, Adams is booked for bringing down Fred.

  • 53. Manchester United 0-2 Leeds

    McKennie gets involved in a niggle with Fred and is booked.

    United players and fans are becoming frustrated by what’s unfolding.

  • 48. Manchester United 0-2 Leeds

    What a scoreline we have here.

    Leeds make another bright start to the half and they’re rewarded within three minutes.

    Summerville gets in behind the United defence and his cross goes in off Varane, leaving De Gea with no chance.
